Pros

Very good environment to work in. Love my coworkers, and management staff, and most of the customers are amazing, however, you have the one bad customer here and there.

Cons

I have worked at Kohl's for 2 years now, and I have a total retail experience of 3 years, and I only make $10.10/hour. With the recent addition of Sephora to my store, they are being paid way more than me. I do know that they are being paid by Sephora standards, and I do understand that they need to know product knowledge and stuff like that, but I still think it is a little ridiculous the pay gap. The starting Sephora associate at Kohl's makes $15.00/hour. I have work at this company for over 2 years and have been an employee of the month 2 times, and the only reason I have not been it more times is that you can only be an employee of the month once per year. I think it is outrageous that a new employee at Sephora makes $5 more than me when I have been working 2 years longer than them at the same store.

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.
