Pros

Pay is way higher than most retail jobs (I started at $8.50 with one high school job as previous experience) Good coworkers Pretty chill atmosphere

Cons

Not enough hours (very hard to get enough!) Lots of meetings and rules (nothing too bad though) Working clothing retail sucks-- its basically taking discarded items from the dressing room and wandering around until you find where they belong (this isn't exclusive to Kohl's though)

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.
