Pros

As far as retail goes, it was generally an easy place to work. The POS systems were pretty intuitive and fast, which made getting customers out the door a short process. For the most part, customers who came in were in a good mood, likely because of the constant bargains. Also management was fairly kind and understanding.

Cons

After being there about six months, management started really pushing us sales associates to sign customers up for the Kohl's credit card. I previously left a position at Macy's because I did not like the sales goal aspect of the position, so trying to persuade people to sign up for credit cards reminded me all too much of Macy's. But I understand it's what a company has to do.

Pros

(Mostly) amazing coworkers and flexible schedule most of the time. Good part time job for college students. Pay was decent.

Cons

Very limited full-time positions, leaves little room for career opportunities. Terrible team environment, feels like a fend for yourself fiasco everyday. I didn’t feel as if my managers or anyone at corporate really cared about any employees and it was just the employees caring for each other. Training times were wildly short, usually only a short shift or two on each area to train (registers, floor, bopus, etc). Corporate is difficult to get in touch with even for customers and they WILL take it out on you and management at any level does not seem to care.
