Here's what some of our previous employees had to say about working at Great Turtle Toys:
"retail experience, customer service exposure (and) fun... sales rewards and added responsibilities for those who shine... recognition of great ideas and potential to say how the store is run... best financial benefits on the island, above average retail wages... for those who work hard, its a chance to play harder."
- Andrew Appleby
"3 words that describe my 2 summers at Great Turtle Toys would be Fun, Excess and Fulfillment. Fun because that's exactly what you get through customer interaction, e.g. putting on an impromptu juggling show while simultaneously discussing the benefits of Beanie Babies over Teenie Boppers and beating an 8 year old at Quarto. Excess due to the social life that springs up as soon as the store closes after each eventful day. Fulfillment through the satisfaction of securing that unlikely sale and knowing the customer is taking home an exciting new toy that is going to bring them as much fun as we had demonstrating it to them.

Great Turtle Toys has the WOW factor. It has the best products, the best staff, the best working atmosphere and the best incentives. Excellent skills are honed, commended and continually rewarded. So if you have the right attitude make the decision to apply for the most awesome summer of your life. I did and now I'm an Assistant Toy Buyer in London."
- Sam, UK (2000/2001)
"I worked with Ben and Katy the Summer between undergraduate and law school. It was a fantastic experience, from learning the basics of retail sales to enjoying the fantastic company of my employers and co-workers. Ben does everything he can to make you the best possible sales person by teaching through example and instruction -- skills you can use well after the summer on the Island is over.

Although I'm now working as a lawyer in Detroit, I still try to visit as often as I can because it was truly one of the best summers of my life."
- Bill Burdett
