Why is this company bad? I'll explain some of it here:

Do you really want to know how bad this company is? I'm still, to this day, not getting paid for my overtime because my salaried managers edited my time card to only show 40 hours, when I have clearly worked more... and be promised for my time, even... read more

So by 2017 will there be any DS positions at all?

With the E&E department supervisor roles being cut and the combining of other roles it begs the question if TRU will soon have no full time positions. For a retail chain that only uses 25 to 50 people per store I have to wonder how that would work... read more

Bain Capital will ask for layoffs that is why they hired David Brandon

David Brandon is a tough operator, he will lay off people to improve financial performance.

Stay away! If you're unemployed, it's better to stay that way until you find a normal job with a normal company.

I worked at TRU Corporate for over 10 years in their IT dept. Literally every year around February, the layoff rumors would begin, and sure enough, layoff would happen. Management never met an employee they couldn't outsource. Everything you read... read more

So many layoffs beware. It is a scary place to work. Don't recommend. Stay away if you want a long term career.

Management only cares about themselves and workers work like dogs. No incentives to work hard. Hours are not realistic. STAY AWAY.

More DS Positions are going away soon.

Seems once the yearly evaluations begin more DS positions are going to be eliminated as a cost cutting move. Should be limited to personal not essential to daily operations, such as most sales floor DS roles or the Price/Signage position.

Wow, that position was useless anyway.

Yup

Are Order Manager Supervisors in all Toys R Us Stores being laid off?

How much vacation hours do toys r us employees start with?

I think I will be accepting a job soon, would you please answer my question on vacation hours.

Charles Lazarus would not be proud of what TRU has become.

Upper management is completely out of touch with the workload of middle management and the actual people who get the work done. Supervisors are all talk and no help. Middle management regularly puts in 12 to 14 hour days plus weekends. Some do not... read more

Frequent Layoffs

At Toys'r'Us gossip is rampant, nepotism and favoritism is wide spread, promotions are not merit based, no discount perks, crazy workload, layoffs are frequent. Expect issues in 2014, we had layoffs in 2013 as well.

How much vacation time does a new Toys R Us employee get?

Also, do I have to work every weekend, or, can I get some weekends off? What's the best time of day to work, I know TRU is busy on weekends, but what about weekdays and during the day?

I hate my job

And I never heard about layoffs at TRU...
