Pros

Kohls is a great place to work part time if you need some extra money while taking college courses. They are very flexible with scheduling. The only requirement is that you must have weekend availability.

Cons

Raises and official performance reviews are only issued once a year, and are quite low. Scheduling can sometimes be random. You may sometimes get a lot of working hours, and other times you may get only a day or two. Training is not the best for new associates, as many things must be picked up on the job. Depending on which store you work at, management can be very cold, uncaring, or just mean and unpleasant. Kohls policies can sometimes seem to contradict themselves making it difficult to know how to deal with customer issues. This job will require you to work face to face with customers. This will mean unpleasant confrontations at times, and is the cause for much frustration.

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
