"Can use the testers, get free samples, product was fun. Discount was amazing but you can easily get into trouble that way."

Sales Associate at Toys R Us

What do you like about working at Toys R Us?

"I like helping customers and having some fun during non seasonal times, and you usually just do the same tasks over and over and over again."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"They make you sell a toy... just say what the item is, what age group it is for, what it does, and if it needs batteries!!!!! I also had to build something out of Legos. I made a bear. It is a group interview, but you still have to tell everyone about yourself. They tell you about dress code, the sucky pay, and what your responsibilities will be. If you go for an interview during Christmas season, they basically will hire you no matter what (as long as you pass a background check). Trying to stay on after season is very difficult though. There is lots of competition, but if you work hard, DON'T CALL OUT, stay later if they ask, and keep quiet (but be friendly), then you will have a better chance at staying. Then you can talk all you want :)"

What don't you like about working at Toys R Us?

"I don't like getting yelled at because you don't get enough rewards sign ups. The discount sucks, and hours suck right after Christmas and then during the summer. The sapphires and printers NEVER work. Whoever is the newest cashier stays on register the whole time while the person at customer service gets to text/goof off. BLACK FRIDAY! You get a 25 cent raise every year you are there if you are good. Seasonal people usually make more than non-seasonal."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Make sure people know what they are doing, because they could be doing it wrong, but not know it because they never get told. Praise members more for the rewards cards/bpps/credit cards. Make sure the cashiers stay at registers and not all huddle at the service desk - customers get confused and whoever stays at the register gets all the customers going to them, which isn't fair."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"The company changes a lot at a corporate level and does not pass it down to the employees very well."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Look at your employees closer and your management staff. There are managers that can't lead and employees that want to step up but can't."
