Kohl's Reviews

Pros

friendly, easy, benefits, vacation time

Cons

low pay, bad hours, no horizontal moves

Pros

They always allowed me to schedule my work hours around my class schedule without "unintentionally" scheduling me for extra shifts like some other large chain stores do.

Cons

Forced point of sale associates to push signing up for a Kohl's credit card on shoppers in a predatory manner by offering money to associates who met a quota of people who signed up for the credit card.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus less on making your POS associates push a credit card onto people who shop at Kohl's because it is cheap, they do not need more credit card debt just so they can get 10-15% off of a purchase.

Pros

Easy Hours
Fun people to work with

Cons

Okay management
you never get a raise

Advice to Senior Management

your doing great

Pros

Good pay, friendly environment and a good discount.

Cons

As with any customer service job, the bad customers.

Advice to Senior Management

Work hard, don't slack, be honest and confident, and remember you are in a team environment.

Pros

Huge internship program makes for a very fun summer living in the dorms downtown Milwaukee
You actually perform work as a part of your team and help them by doing work and conducting 3 different projects
Access to senior management
Social/team-oriented atmosphere

Cons

Classes are a bit boring in the beginning
Headquarters is a maze of gray cubes
Gossip among employees
Long process to get new ideas implemented (has to go through many levels of management)
Lack of communication between departments

Advice to Senior Management

Create a formal interdepartmental communication system so everyone's on the same page
Design a system that allows all levels of employees to submit their innovative ideas straight to the decision makers

Pros

There is almost always something you can/will be doing, each day is different has has its own pace (some slow some fast), management will let you work in various departments to see which is the best fit, the system allows you to meet the needs/wants of customers, and coworkers try to be/are generally friendly.

Cons

Not too much wiggle room in terms of a promotion, hours could be a little better or at least more consistent, recognition is reserved only for those who solicit high credit applications, and the system for break length based on hours worked is bothersome.

Advice to Senior Management

In periodic performance reviews you say that we are average since our ability to solicit credit is average, so look at other factors when deciding if we are going above and beyond what is asked of us. Please stop making our shifts 6.5-6.75hrs long instead of 7hrs because you don't want us to have an extra 10min break.

Pros

Good Benefits. Good opportunities for advancement. Treats employees well. Work environment is good. There are a lot of classes to take.
