Pros

Easy work, if you work overnight. Flexible hours. Good place to work if you're in high school.

Cons

It's a joke. The worse workers get more respect than the real workers. They seem to pay very little attention to who's working and who's not. Average workers who walk around with their pants below their butt and their boxers showing, manage to be kept, while people who actually dress presentable and put in hard work are thrown away unless they are buddies with the management. I've worked in 2 other retail stores that are actually bigger than Toy R Us and this is by far the worse one. Usually the smaller the store, the better the treatment, but not in this case. It's the only employer that expects workers to know how to work equipment without any training and do jobs that they've never been trained to do. Toys R Us and training don't even belong in the same sentence. Don't even get me started on the lack of break policy. They are picky about who gets a break and who doesn't. Some people have worked all 8 hours without a break and filing a complaint to corporate won't help. The whole entire company is garbage. Wish they would fall off already. They don't deserve the success. I didn't work there long enough to know earn a raise, but the ones who have still haven't got one. They treat everyone as an expendable. If you're over 18 don't invest anytime at Toys R Us. It's a joke.

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.
