Pros

Managers are scheduled 9.5 hours. Managers are also paid hourly, so working retail, this is good. You are paid time and a half for work. The downside of hourly work is that in California there are meal violation laws. As a manager, it can be very difficult to pull away from tasks. Also, TRU is hiring! Leaders recognize that the only way that they remain competitive in retail, is to hire good leaders. The company seems to be very open to new suggestions to improve store performance. Marketing is good. Parents are able to save a lot of money with the many coupons.

Cons

benefits are minimal. The benefits do not offer orthodontic coverage for adult employees. Adult meaning anyone over the age of 19,major internal restructuring, sick time reimbursement does not benefit employees. Also, TRU is hiring!

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.
