Pros

Provided a great learning experience in terms of customer service, people management, time management and work ethic. Provided good compensation, especially for entry level candidates. Provided an excellent benefits package

Cons

Zero work/ life balance Does not provide you with very valuable skills to excellent your career path The company upholds unrealistic expectations of all employees There is a huge disconnect between the corporate side and the store side It is physically impossible to run a store with the amount of payroll and employees corporate will allow Overall, the company does not appear to value its employees, especially on the store side

Pros

managers can be friendly at times

Cons

Little to no training been working here for almost a year now there’s still something I don’t know every day. What was most difficult for me was being at registers as I was trained in two days by shadowing someone. There are so many situations and problems that will come up every day and you will learn something new! They never taught me about Kohl’s cash, how to read receipts, reprint or edit receipts. They schedule so little so when you do learn something there’s no chance of rehearsal because you come in three weeks later working at a different department.
