Pros

The salary is good compared to other retail management positions. Recieve a comp week of vacation for working during the holiday season.

Cons

No work life balance Managers expected to work on days off and 10+ hours days This is not a good job to have if you have children Management only focused on meeting sales goals, not the associates well being Management (Store Manager and District Manager) put too much pressure on Assistant Store Managers without giving proper feedback, training and Guidance The MIT program is NOT efficient enought time (3 months) to prepare someone to become an Assistant Store Manager

Pros

The culture at Kohl's is very inclusive and specifically within the DS organization there is a lot of collaboration of ideas. Depending on your team you will have more of an hands on approach, some days feeling closer to an applied scientist than a data scientist.

Cons

Disconnect between priorities with leadership roles. Salary is not competitive, opportunities for promotions are limited regardless of your deemed performance by your direct manager.
