HOUSTON — Holiday hiring is ramping up as Toys“R”Us® announced Wednesday plans to hire 40,000 seasonal employees at its stores and distribution centers nationwide in advance of another busy holiday shopping season. An estimated 800 jobs will be available for those in the Houston area.
With a focus on meeting the needs of both customers and its workforce, Toys“R”Us will offer seasonal workers the opportunity to take on significantly more hours than in previous years, while also continuing to provide extra hours to current employees. With flexible, part-time work schedules offered throughout the week, seasonal store employees will average 18 to 20 hours per week, and up to 30 hours during peak season, dependent on an individual’s availability.
These jobs, which include sales employees, stock crew and omnichannel fulfillment teams, can also serve as a path to year-round employment. Last year, 20 percent of the company’s holiday workforce retained a position after Christmas, choosing Toys“R”Us to help further their careers.
Interested applicants can learn more about the exciting, fast-paced and rewarding opportunities available by visiting the company’s Holiday Hiring website, Toysrusinc.com/careers/holiday.
The company’s expanded workforce, together with its more tenured toy experts, plays a pivotal role in ensuring an exceptional experience for shoppers in search of gifts that will bring huge smiles to the children in their lives. Toys“R”Us is seeking enthusiastic, highly motivated and customer-focused individuals to join our team during this busy, but very exciting time of year.
Interviewing for seasonal positions at Toys“R”Us stores begins at all stores nationwide this month with new hires starting work in October. Staffing will continue to build through December.
