Pros

In the right stores with excellent management it can be a fun place to work, the pay is on par with similiar retailers.

Cons

One employee is expected to do the work of 3-4 people. Even upper management would say so. I have seen employees passed up for promotions because they were able to keep up with the work demanded of them and management knew it was rare to find such a person, so they didn't want to promote them or pay them more. Training for certain jobs within the store can be poor.

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.
