Rising Star Leadership Program
Pros
-Rotational Program Provides you with everything you need to be a business leader, whether you want to do Merchandising, Supply Chain, or Retail Operations in 2 1/2 years. Also an international rotation. I have never heard of program getting you where you want to be faster, and more effectively than at Toys "R" Us. - Comprehensive Training Program where they ACTUALLY care about your development and learning. My Mentor, Sponsor, Managers, and Coworkers have given me all the tools I need to be successful, and I can go talk to anyone at any time whether it is my director, manager, or coworker. If you want to know more about a function of the business, you can ask and they can set up meetings and classes for you. You become an expert in business, not just your current role. - Leadership Team from Managers, Directors, VP's, EVP's, and even our CEO Dave himself make an effort to get to know you and want you to be successful. I have worked at other retailers, and no one has ever cared about my personal development as much as them- it's really remarkable that they know my name and want me to be a leader. -Coworkers are bright, very team oriented, and the culture is very fun and positive. They have many events and giveaways to their employees often to show their appreciation. My manager even throws birthday parties for our team members. -Very good salary, benefits, and you get lots of free toys! -Great work life balance and summer Fridays. -Campus complete with a cafeteria, Starbucks, gym, dry cleaners, and multiple floors and towers- with a lake front view.
Cons
-Recent Filing, however this is a restructuring, and the business is going to come back stronger than ever before.
