      I worked at Kohl's part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      It is hard work as the flow of customers in customer service is constant. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and helping the customers.

      Cons

      I did five jobs in one and the pay was low. It wasn't just customer service.

      Advice to Management

      Change your pay scale for that position.

    4. "Nice place for a first job. Friendly staff, and so far few negative costumers."

      I have been working at Kohl's part-time

      Pros

      Supportive of the fact that you are new and encourage questions.

      15% employee discount that can stack with pretty much any other dollar off/per cent discount.

      Managers seem to care about the store and employees.

      Cons

      1 15 minute break for 5 hour shift.

      Only got a quick "tour" of the store, and for someone that works at the cash register, it means you never really get to know where everything is unless you walk around on your own time.

      Advice to Management

      Just remember that employee morale is important for everyone to work at their best for the costumers.

      -Fantastic entry level experience

      -Stable and innovative company
      -Forward thinking leaders
      -Great company culture and perks!

      Cons

      -Work life balance has decreased over the years in PD specifically.

      Advice to Management

      -Work life balance needs to be addressed in product development. Employees' stress levels have greatly increased since I joined the company three years ago.
      -Management and managers need to embrace different personality types other than their own. You don't want to lose good people.
