Pros

If you like fast-paced environments where you are always engaging with people, retail gives you that. The discount is generous and associate shop days double it's value. Additionally, part-time help are eligible for benefits after a year - a rare commodity.

Cons

The workload is intense, which makes it difficult to complete all the tasks that need to happen daily in running the store. Corporate often changes the workload schedule at the last minute, causing shifts in management's schedule. This makes it hard to maintain the work-life balance corporate stresses is a priority.

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.
