Pros

The pay is not to shabby and some of your fellow employees are pretty nice to work with. The quality of the merchandise is pretty good. Loved to shop there and the discount wasn't bad either. I loved working with some of the people there. My fellow POS Specialists were fun to be around and were very helpful when I got the promotion to their team. The store was always clean and bright and you couldn't beat the sales. Most of the Floor Supervisors were great fun to work with, especially the Loss prevention guys. I would work with any of them again.

Cons

The hours suck. Upper Management are idiots who don't know how to run the store. If you are looking for a job that will give you back what you put into it then this is not the job. Take it from someone who worked there and was accused of actions that they didn't do and was forced to quit but who had bent over backwards to get the job done and was always available when they called because they needed someone to cover a shift. Working at Kohl's can be fun but don't let them fool you into thinking they are your friends. They are just waiting to stab you in the back after they draw their last drop of blood out of you.

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.
