Pros

Good for part-time high schoolers who need a little cash. (And i mean little cash)

Cons

Awful for 20-40yr olds who want a career. It’s a revolving-door store for a reason. Nobody in their right mind would want to hold a career with Kohl’s. Nobody cares about each other anymore, only store quotas we need to meet. And don’t even get me started on not meeting them, it’s the end of the world. It’s hostile, demeaning, self-deprecating, humiliating. The merchandise is cheap, the fixtures are cheap, and the wages are definitely cheap. I don’t know what’s happened to the company but i refuse to ever go back.

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
