Pros

The employee discount is 15%. This is one of the only real benefits of working at my Kohl's. Your are able to stack your employee discount with the coupons on top of the merchandise whether it's full price, on sale, or clearance. Also, they are pretty good about giving time off when you request it enough in advanced.

Cons

The management doesn't always make clear what your expected to do. The training is a joke, but most of it is common sense. The management doesn't keep the employees informed.

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.
