Pros

Great co-workers. Stacking of coupons and discounts for employees. You will learn about the pricing SCAM that is Kohl's. Very helpful information indeed. Great friends will be made. But I suppose that has nothing to do with Kohl's.

Cons

Bad wages. Bad hours. Credit cards are more important than people. You will be judged based on rather or not you can get guests to sign up for The Kohl's Card. Managers do threaten to and actually cut the hours of POS associates if customers choose not to sigh up for the card. You can be fired for not getting enough credit card applications. Your availability will not be honored. They will schedule you when you cannot work. Then put the blame on you if you cannot find someone to fill your shift. They do not care if you don't get to celebrate the holidays with your family. Profit over people is an appropriate way to explain Kohl's. DON"T GET A KOHL"S CARD!! NEVER apply for a credit card that is not attached to a major credit card. You can get extra coupons @retailmenot . They do not offer competitave pay. You can get fired for calling in during the holiday season. Literally unless you or a close family member has passed away you can be fired. Kohl's Cares........ Propaganda videos during break. Very hard to just get away for a few moments. As they will have video's about how amazing kohl's is on in the break room. That alone will make you consider leaving.

Pros

(Mostly) amazing coworkers and flexible schedule most of the time. Good part time job for college students. Pay was decent.

Cons

Very limited full-time positions, leaves little room for career opportunities. Terrible team environment, feels like a fend for yourself fiasco everyday. I didn’t feel as if my managers or anyone at corporate really cared about any employees and it was just the employees caring for each other. Training times were wildly short, usually only a short shift or two on each area to train (registers, floor, bopus, etc). Corporate is difficult to get in touch with even for customers and they WILL take it out on you and management at any level does not seem to care.
