Pros

Salaried employees are the only ones being paid a living wage

Cons

There are no systems in place to hold corporate accountable for what they do wrong or need to fix. Stores will be penalized for the company’s mistakes. Employees are not paid a living wage and the company has openly admitted to managers that they will never pay a living wage. You’ll be asked to routinely work ten to twelve hour shifts. You’ll have no life except when you’re on PTO, and even then your district managers will expect you to be working for the good of your store. Make no mistake, there is no work life balance and there never will be. They care about converting customers to cardholders more than they care about sales. Product quality continuously declines while prices continue to rise.

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.
