Pros

Started their late summer and was able to get decent hours. Holiday season their is plenty of hours to go around. Most employees were fun to work with and easy to get along with.

Cons

Management skills were nearly non existent, no respect for most of the hard working staff. Always hours being cut and not enough people scheduled to complete the expected amount of work. Everyone is treated as disposable and the pay is very low for the expected level of work.

Be more flexible

Pros

There is a gym on campus as well as a cafeteria- the food is pretty good. Summer Fridays (but you have to make up the 40 hours elsewhere during the week), friendly people, good starting salary, good parking. If you like a true corporate environment, not like a small business at all, then this place is for you.

Cons

Toys R Us mandates an hour lunch, so you end up being at work for 45 hours a week. It would be much better if a fifteen min to half hour lunch was allowed and then employees could leave 45 min earlier and tend to family etc. Toys R Us is corporate to the core with a lot of set rules and a rigid hierarchy. Most people move around laterally for years before moving up and its seems as though some people are swamped with work while others have nothing to do. People don't seem happy in general and my part of the office is dead silent during the day and it can be depressing. Besides that, there is not a lot of time off.

Overall, pretty good

Pros

Pretty solid paid time-off and vacation packages, reasonably priced medical/dental insurance. Opportunities to advance within the company.

Cons

Lower end of the pay scale for big-box retailers. Most employees are part-timers, and thus have little to no investment to the company. Very difficult to find talent that is willing to do the necessary work when they are getting 15 to 20 hours weekly. Push "metrics" way too vigorously, to the point where it frustrates the customer.
