Pros

1) The people are friendly. 2) The pay is decent. 3) The associate discount is nice. 4) You get recognized on your birthday (cake, cupcakes, etc) 5) Those who want to rise in the workplace have many opportunities to do so. 6) They have a nice rewards system. 7) The managers really care about how the associate is doing and tries to help them improve so that they can do better at their job and keep working at Kohl's. They are understanding and usually don't bite no matter what. 8) They offer benefits for part-time employees that are there for three months as well as full-time (it's a smaller package, but I don't know of any other retail store that offers benefits to part-time associates!)

Cons

1) It's retail. The hours can be sucky. 2) Sometimes they don't always hire the best managers-- most of the managers at my store are good but there is one that doesn't really know what he's doing. Not much else I can think of. They've got one of the best set of policies for employees I can think of-- if you want to work retail I think Kohl's is the best place there is.

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.
