Pros

Salary and Bonus is GREAT for a SM . I made 143k total compensation in 2009! Store environment is clean and neat ! Store average customer clientele is good.

Cons

Way too may hours for salaried SM and # salaried ASM's Always losing your day off to prepare for a big visit with no comp day off year around. Way too many visits from RVP, SVP and even higher. Upper management is VERY Arrogant and treats you like you are trash. Always in gotcha mode. look for all your Opps with No recognition for any wins! Way too much unnecessary workload that takes us away from the customer and adds NO value to the bottom line or the company profits.

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.
