Pros
I’ll preface this with different stores have different vibes/cultures so what I believe won’t be true for every store. I’ve been with Kohl’s for 3.5 years. I started out as just seasonal, but they asked me to stay on. I like working for the organization. My store has a nice culture. We have a very mixed group and everyone seems to get along and help each other out. I’ve had the opportunity to learn all positions. So any week I could have 3-4 different assignments. They have always been really good about giving me time off (I always ask ahead of time) and allowing me to flex my schedule.
Cons
The pay is below average for retail jobs in nearby locations. I hate that the most value you can have as an employee is to successfully push their high interest credit card. They have had 3 CEO’s in my time there. Each has made some pretty bad decisions as to how they want the company to run. They have eliminated some senior managers in the store hierarchy so now there’s supervisors and leads that are overwhelmed with too many responsibilities. In addition, the floor staff has been cut way down so that often there are only 1-2 people on the sales floor even on the busiest days.
