Poor management

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 27 September 2023

Poor management and poor training. Applied as a cashier and was placed in customer service with no prior experience, was trained by multiple different people in the span of 3 days and expected me to just catch onto everything. Was very unhappy with my experience here, the staff was so shruggish and kept telling me I was using too big of words when I didn’t want to be blunt with customers. Wouldn’t apply again and tbh haven’t shopped there since. :(

Rude Management

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Brantford, ON - 19 September 2023

The managers and supervisors held very high expectations for you especially as a new employee. They are rude and made the workplace environment less enjoyable. I was a floor associate but put on cash a few days after my first shift with no experience on how to work on cash. The breaks are short too. Management and supervisors don’t even tell you what tasks your meant to do, it’s more of a figure it out yourself type of job.

Fun workplace

Cashier (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 7 September 2023

Fun work environment and you work with great people. It’s an easy and laid back job. Management is great but some managers/supervisors can be very rude.

Easy job that you can go airplane mode

PT Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Thornhill, ON - 6 September 2023

Everyday is almost the same. You serve customers, pack orders in the back, clean the shelves, fill the shelves. There's room for growth however, for the pay it's not worth it. Good part-time job as a student though.

No stability, lack of advancement opportunities

Shipper and Receiver (Former Employee) - Dieppe, NB - 30 August 2023

Toys R Us has been going through tumultuous times of late. There is no stability for hours and because of this, there is very little opportunity for cross training in other departments. There is also very little in the way of advancement opportunities.

A good first job

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Lasalle, QC - 27 August 2023

The job is simple and the managers are really nice. The only negative thing that I can think about is the old cash register systems that is a bit complicated to learn . Otherwise, I had so much fun working there.

Overall it was okay

Back of House (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 26 August 2023

Management only cares about making sales. A typical day would consist of me bouncing between departments because we are understaffed. The most enjoyable was meeting new people at seasonal times workplace was chill with fellow coworkers. Managers are hit and miss. 5 out of 10 overall

Pros

Managers got snacks

Cons

Staying longer because we are understaffed

Winter Seasonal Work, Good Overall

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 14 August 2023

Obviously, this will vary based on the management and who your co-workers are. However, my experience was generally positive. The training on operating the tills was given by other co-workers, easing into the actual work dealing with customer transactions.Pushing for charity donations was somewhat aggressive as high donation numbers were a requirement to be kept on as a seasonal worker.Management didn't mind staff raising our voices to get the attention of customers (Particularly on weekends, the store was so loud most customers couldn't hear when cashiers were calling to get their attention). However, that was on the stipulation that we were polite even if we had to raise our voices. Working an 8-hour shift, had a 15-minute unpaid break and a 30-minute paid lunch break, enough time to eat and take a smoke. All workers were provided with radios and earpieces to communicate, making stock checking significantly easier.

Fine

Stock Associate (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 12 August 2023

Fairly simple but with lots to do. Coworkers were very nice and good to work with. Working with the public a lot is not for me but otherwise the job was good.

Boring

Cashier (Current Employee) - Sudbury, ON - 2 August 2023

Only time there is a consistent amount of customers is during Christmas. Except for that time period it is extremely boring especially when working the cash register and having nothing to do.

Good experience

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Brampton, ON - 28 July 2023

I recently dined at [RestaurantName] and was thoroughly impressed by both the exquisite cuisine and the impeccable service. The menu showcased a variety of innovative dishes, blending bold flavors and beautiful presentation. The attentive and knowledgeable staff ensured that our meal was a memorable one, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our satisfaction. I can’t recommend [RestaurantName] enough for a fantastic dining experience.”

Toxic Environment!

Sales Floor Associate (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 24 July 2023

Working here is very toxic, both associates and especially the managements are toxic! Working here is not good for the mind, body, and soul. I wouldn’t recommend working here.

Simple, straightforward job, but very slow most days

cashier (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 18 July 2023

It's a good job if you thrive in slower-paced environments (except for the holidays). Management is super nice and organized. Nice discount on cool stuff.
