Pros

The management was always friendly and called each associate by name. The company provided a cake each month in honor of the birthday's for that month, so that was very nice. The associate discount was also nice.

Cons

The pay wasn't very good. It was basically minimum wage with retail experience. There was always a push from management to get customers to sign up for Kohl's charge cards, but that's every department store. I was never scheduled for enough hours combined with the low pay.

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
