Pros

Employee discount...? Other than that, having a hard time thinking of anything LOL

Cons

Workload is unrealistic and ridiculous, especially for floor associates. Attending to dressing rooms, "recovering" departments, and all the other duties they push on you in very limited amount of time, and almost impossible for one person to accomplish. I lost 10 pounds working here because of the constant running around, usually in a panic with 1 million things to do. Not to mention they never have enough cashiers, and we were expected to run to the cash register every time needed. End up being stuck on registers for 3 hours, and your supervisor wonders why your department is a mess. Management extremely pushy, and act like they look down on you. Very impersonal staff, especially management. Supervisors are under pressure, and they return the pressure onto you. The pay is a joke for the amount of workload and the expectations. Minimum wage, without much of a raise in the future. The turnover rate is high for a reason: It's a very unpleasant job, and the pay doesn't match up with the work. I dreaded going into work everyday, and honestly, the job stressed me out. Not a pleasant experience, and never again is all I can say.

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.
