Toys R Us History and Employment
By Mark Andrew Woodcock

Toys R Us was founded in 1948 when Charles Lazarus (the stores are named after him) set up a furniture shop aimed at young children. There are now 840 stores in the US alone and a further 716 spread across 34 other countries. 75 of these stores are located in the UK and are accompanied by the new line, Babies R Us. Note, the ‘R’ is mirror-imaged in the logos.

Toys R Us can lay claim to the largest toy store in the world – its branch in Times Square, New York.

The chain of toy stores has a workforce of 70,000 people worldwide and its last reported turnover figure was $14bn upon which it made a profit of $218m (1.6%). The company claims that 70% of American families with children under the age of 12 shopped at one of the Toys R Us stores and 84% of new mothers made purchases at the Babies R Us stores.

If you are thinking of applying for one of the company’s job vacancies, there is a tie-breaker question on the application form which reads ‘Please detail any additional information in support of your application’. This is where you need to come up with some reason that particularly ties you to what Toys R Us sells – i.e. toys and children’s clothing. You must write something and it must relate to this. Try to convey not just information – e.g. “I’ve always wanted to sell toys – I’ve sold my old ones on eBay”, instead put something like, “I love exploring toys, thinking up ways of playing creatively with them and demonstrating how they work.”

There is a strong graduate program operating and Toys R Us have the declared aim of taking the best graduates and getting them trained up to manage a ‘multi-million pound megastore within just 2 years’. The criteria they seek in candidates include communication skills, leadership, drive, energy, ambition, and geographical flexibility. The program gets into gear every September.

Graduates completing the course are engaged as Assistant Managers and are allocated responsibility for a department. This puts them in direct charge of team development, customer service, sales, and loss prevention – all as preparation for the next step towards being a General Store Manager (GSM).

An experienced GSM is available to the Assistant Manager to help them with their individual Personal Development Plan. Assistant Managers are expected to relocate in order to understudy various GSM’s in different roles, in doing so acquiring new practical skills from each posting.

Once the second Christmas season is over, the Assistant Managers on the programme are expected to compete for promotion to GSM level. Toys R Us state that each candidate is assessed on what they have achieved and not how long they have been with the company. As a GSM, you are promised a ‘highly attractive salary package.’
