Pros

~15% off merchandise 30% off on associate shopping days ~Clean Sales Floor ~Some associates who work with you can make the time pass a little faster

Cons

~Unrealistic expectations of what needs be done by the closing team ~Minimum wage ALWAYS for new employees, minuscule raises every year < 30 cents. ~Store is gossip city, will walk in hearing people talk bad about you behind your back. ~Workload is enormous some nights, they expect you to work at lighting fast pace ~Managers for the most part do absolutely no work and give little to no direction. There are a few exceptions however. ~Soliciting credit is a pain. ~Managers do not know how to schedule employees ~Closing team have to stay longer then scheduled in order to finish. ~Sales floor back up on cash registers sometimes for half an 8 hour shift and are still expected to have their department and fitting rooms looking pristine by the end of the night.

Pros

managers can be friendly at times

Cons

Little to no training been working here for almost a year now there’s still something I don’t know every day. What was most difficult for me was being at registers as I was trained in two days by shadowing someone. There are so many situations and problems that will come up every day and you will learn something new! They never taught me about Kohl’s cash, how to read receipts, reprint or edit receipts. They schedule so little so when you do learn something there’s no chance of rehearsal because you come in three weeks later working at a different department.
