Pros

Provides great benefits and a decent salary. There is opportunity for advancement and is a good place to start out. You will learn a lot about how to manage people and essentially run a small business. You have more responsibility and learning opportunities at a faster pace than you would starting out somewhere else.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours, holidays and weekends. You truly have to be passionate about what you do to enjoy this job. Depending on what role you're in, there may be a lot of physical work as well. It is high stress and fast paced and places a lot of pressure on you to meet your goals.

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.
