Pros

Salary was competitive and good for the industry. The insurance package, especially medical was strong and comprehensive. Vacation time up front versus accrued was a plus.

Cons

Work schedule was brutal, even for retail hours. Many nights, weekends and holidays. Variable work schedule with little stability for life balance. Often opening or closing and even overnights. Little opportunity for advancement.

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.
