      I have been working at Kohl's full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Kohl's provides a challenging position, that allows me to maintain a proper work life balance. The vision set forth by our leadership group is inspiring and gets my buy in. Most companies talk about putting their customers first, but I feel that Kohl's lives that idea in all functions. Our Kohl's Cares initiatives gives me the opportunity to give back to the community in a fun and useful format. I wish I would have...

      Cons

      The one drawback I have come across since working here, is quite simple. I wish there were more positions to bring in some of my former colleagues in to the fold, as I know they would enjoy the same experiences I have here.

        Positive Outlook
        Approves of CEO

        I have been working at Kohl's full-time for more than 3 years

        Pros

        For a mass retailer, this company is great. They have good benefits, 401k, medical, dental, vision and even a lawyer service. You can have a flexible schedule *as far as retail goes*

        Cons

        The store cultures can be toxic. Some of the workers have been there for decades and are inflexible and resistant to change. Some will never be more than the titles they have now, so they will actively seek to exclude you from pertinent store information as well as create division among the employees and management.

        Advice to Management

        Being a great place to work for retail employees is beneficial, however, with the changes in the company, the partnership with amazon and scaling back floor crew, you’re either going to have to promote floor supervisors or get rid of them entirely to support the future of kohl’s. Also, for sales supervisors, enhanced mandatory training, time to plan work flows, a clear HR reference guide and an hour extra after closing...
