Pros

All the girls are very sweet and work as a team. Break room is pretty big, training is offered through the computer every week. Every month associates receive gratis (free) items ranging from travel size to full size so that we can test out the products ourselves at home and learn more about them. Every 30 hours worked I believe is equal to 2 hours of collected paid time off for part timers. Break room is the one that Kohl's offers, there's no separate break room for Sephora, but its nice to get to know the Kohls associates as well. Its a pretty big breakroom and sometimes Kohl's management will buy everyone food, especially for events like Christmas, new years. Associate discount is 15% and applies to Sephora at Kohl's (no free standing Sephora store) and towards any Kohl's items as well. During holidays, discounts are BIG for associates especially if you have the Beauty Insider reward program with Sephora.

Cons

Hours given are not the best, but of course that depends on your availability. It can get very busy, customers take a lot of your time with things so it requires a lot of patience and time management as there are things to be done other than helping and ringing out customers. Pay attention to the trainings as customers can be very specific with their concerns, often asking for a certain ingredient they need to avoid or are looking for. So it is important to know not just the brands but the items/ingredients themselves specifically. Some things (gift cards, returns) from main Sephora stores cannot be transferred to Kohl's Sephoras so it causes a lot of confusion and upset with the customers.

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.
