Pros

You can combine your employee 15 % off discount with other Kohl's coupons They promote from within They work with your schedule

Cons

The pay is not great but it 's retail They have a day-off black out in November and December. You are not allowed to take any days off at all but its the busiest time of the year for retailers. Give us more hours! Period! Why should one POS associate get 15 hours and another get 35 hours in the same week if they are not in school, have another job or anything. Makes no sense.

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.
