Gave TRU/BRU almost six years as a BOH associate. It's just a revolving door of disappointment. - Back of House Associate Toys "R" Us Employee Review

Pros

Great place if you're looking for a second income, or working and going to school full time. Flexible hours, vacation pay, and earned time off.

Cons

No room for advancement unless you're buddies with the upper management. They would rather hire from the outside and not promote from within. In almost six years I have seen as much in not a few more managers rotate through the doors. I've also seen a lot of good associates with a lot of potential leave after being there for way less than a year.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
