Pros

+Awesome discounts -seriously, only thing I will miss once from this hellhole. +Coworkers +SOME customers +flexible hours for college students

Cons

-MANAGEMENT, MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT. I have had a handful of retail jobs and never have I had such disrespectful, incompetent and just plain rude management! You ask a simple question and you attitude from management. "Can I go on my break, please?" "UGH let me find someone to cover you" (30 min later and nothing). One manager actually has employees run to the starbucks across the street to get her coffee! When you need help dealing with a difficult customer, they do whatever it takes for you to take care it cause god forbid they have to walk from their office to the register. They make you stay after you're scheduled off to finish cleaning your registers. -Management will walk around and they'll see you need help, and just walk past you while you have a line of customers. -Not enough coverage. Im not joking. They scheduled me once on a Saturday form 2 to 6 without any backup. -Customers always right. You have to give to customers every whim. I advise for anyone who is thinking of applying, PLEASE DONT. Unless you really really need it.

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.
