Toys "R" Us Store Manager reviews

Before important management visits it's not unusual for managers to work a 24 hour day. Retail is long hours however in the 21st Century it is not acceptable to rota managers in for 80 hour weeks AND expect them to work extra to that!! The culture is one that area managers will come in and shout at store managers if the mood takes them. The idea of motivation hasn't found it's way to this company yet. Do not work for these people, you are not valued, not paid enough, and you will be worked into the ground after a couple of years.

High pressure to meet unrealistic goals which gives you the feeling, if you don't meet those goals, you will lose your job. As a Manager, your told to hire more associates your budget can support, then you are reprimanded for exceeding hours. While you are being told to cut back on hours, the company extends store operating hours, increases the daily work load beyond capacity, and expects you to have certain number of associates working at specific times but when you add up all the hours you are "told" to use, you find yourself over hours. This is a recipe for failure. I was working 12 to 14 hours a day 6 to 7 days a week to try to meet the company's expectations but it was never enough.
