Pros

NONE, no pros at all!

Cons

I was hired as a seasonal freight associate. Orientation didn't take place until 22 days after my hire date. They wanted us to sign up for a Kohl's charge card at orientation. I was not scheduled to work until 29 days after my hire date. I showed up to my first day at 6am, and nobody was there, they had apparently told me the wrong day. My next day's hours were taken away as well due to this mix up. I was only scheduled 8 hours that week and did not get to work any hours because of their mix up. They were very unapologetic about it. I was told I would start the following Monday instead (34 days from hire date), I showed up at 6am and AGAIN nobody was there. Pay was only $9 an hour. This is no way to treat somebody!

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
