Interviewed Jan 2012 in Madison, AL (took 1+ week)
I was called to come in for an interview. It consisted of situational questions such as "Tell me a time you went abouve and beyond at work?" The interviewer was very upbeat but informal. They called the next day to set up a second interview with a different manager. I was basically the same format but different questions. She set up my drug test for the following Monday. I didn't hear anything until Thursday. I was offered the job and went in for orientation the following day and started the next. I've only worked 2 days so far but everyone is really nice. I am doing ad set overnight so its very laid back with virtually no dress code.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
They were very friendly and welcoming. The interview went so well, I didn't want to leave. It did how ever take really long to hear back from them for the final interview process. However, I found out I did so well I skipped the second round of interviews!!! They asked me questions like "why do you want to work for Kohls?" "what do you expect from kohls?" "tell us about a time where you could not finish a task" "how do you go about getting a task done that you are not really sure about?"

It was a great job in the beginning but then it turned out kind of shakey for me because the managers were showing favoritism and giving out certain amount if hours to who they wanted to but claiming that the computer was doing it.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Plaistow, NH (took a day)
The reason they are hiring is because they are remodeling the store and moving the experienced workers to the over night shifts. I had two 1:1 interviews. They were both very friendly. It was my first interview, and it was very comfortable. I first interviewed with a lady, who asked the basic questions. Then, I interviewed with a man, who asked about the same questions. After that, I just had to fill out some paperwork for references, background checks, ect. Then it was done. The interview took about a half n hour long. The interview was overall a very positive experience. They said it would take 2 weeks to find out if I got the job, so I'm still waiting.

Interviewed May 2011 in Walker, MI (took a day)
Was put in a room with about 12 others wanting to get employed there. Don't understand why I had to be re-interviewed when I should have been a direct hire because I was coming back from military leave. They still haven't gotten my paperwork right.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Applied online on Friday night & received a phone call on Monday morning for an interview. The interview consisted of four other people and two managers. We were asked to answer the same questions and every person had the chance to answer the question first. The managers were very friendly & energetic. After the interview they asked me & another person to stay back. So if you're asked to stay back that means you've been hired.
