Pros

Very easy hiring process, Training is in depth and the people are willing to help out. People are great but that always depends on the location.

Cons

Hours are very inconsistent, You could have 35 hours one week and 8 the next. They don't care about giving you the same hours week to week. you could be scheduled at 5am one day and then 6pm the next. They push the Kohl's charge cards as if their lives depend on it. Every time I would try to buy something one of the managers would try to pressure me to sign up for a card if we haven't reached goal for the week. If you are a cashier and there's nothing to do, they'll fuss at you for not doing anything even if there wasn't anything that you could do. They want your availability to be way higher than anything you'll be scheduled for. If you're only being scheduled 2 days a week, your availability has to be 5 days just so they have more flexibility for themselves.

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
