Pros

You get paid money, which is used for buying things.

Cons

Breaks are only given because they have to be- you can be standing over 10 hours before you get even a 15 minute break. Especially during the holiday season. Most managers won't let you use the bathroom or get a drink of water even after hours straight, leaving the majority of employees dehydrated with medical problems not covered because they do not offer benefits. Complaints about harassment are not taken seriously. You work until the store is clean at night, even if it means you stay until 3am or you lose your job. This goes for people with kids, pregnant people, those with second jobs because TRU will not pay a livable wage in any version of reality, etc. You are held to extremely high standards and ridiculous expectations with no option for bonus. This is why most employees do not care about their job and it's reflected in the service customers get from standard red shirts.

Pros

Great Pay Benefits Decent schedule during off season

Cons

Completely HR driven, If an employee says it happened... it happened. Advertising is completely misleading, resulting in frustrated customers. Lack of support from district and regional leadership. Sink or swim mentality. What senior leadership sees on "Scheduled visits" and what customers see day to day are light years apart.
