      I worked at Kohl's full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      -Fantastic entry level experience
      -Gain a lot of responsibility early on
      -Stable and innovative company
      -Forward thinking leaders
      -Great company culture and perks!
      -Product development is very fast paced, team oriented, and always changing.
      -Coordinators mainly work on production related tasks (70% Production, 30% Brand)
      -Analytical skills are a necessity! Sales and business analysis is a key part of this job.

      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.

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

      Pros

      I worked at the Kohls e-fulfillment center and the retail store. The e-fulfillment center was a really decent place to work at. Supervisors where cool, decent pay, great benefits, hours were okay.

      Cons

      The retail store was terrible place to work for me. When I transferred to the retail store, I was never welcomed or trained at all. I was thrown on the sales floor and had to ask for help every 5 minutes to other employees because I had no idea what I was doing. Crappy Hours, Crappy Pay, Supervisors were idiots. Just a terrible place to work at. No wonder that Kohl's was one of the Kohl's to close down!! Upland South

      Advice to Management

      Your Retail Supervisors are terrible.
