Pros

Associate/ employee discount, YES we can return policy for customers, belief in excellent customer service. Updated POS systems. Growing company with over 1000 locations in U.S. Credit card program. Monthly new clearance markdowns, employees can use their discount on even these items. KCK kohl's cares for kids program and AIA events or A team events, charity events giving back to the community. Going green. Manager in Training Program.

Cons

no recognition. Daily Recognition non existent. No Yes we can for dedicated, loyal employees. Its ashame tha customers are treated better than your loyal employees. Manager in Training program is not utilized to the highest extent. Some of the company's best people have left the district I worked in because the district manager did not want to transfer them or put them in the manager in training program. Education is not valued even though they claim it is. Company has grown so big that values have been lost sight of. The truly dedicated employees thrown in the back burner.

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.
