Pros

If you want to work retail Kohl's is a great place to start. You learn how to mark merchandise, and organize it. You also learn how to use a register proficiently, and for every Kohl's charge you open you recieve an extra dollar on your paycheck. You also get paid every week from Kohl's, which is very helpful when paying for bills and or wanting to go shopping.

Cons

A lot of people that shop at Kohl's do not respect the merchandise so they decide to leave it on the floor, steal the merchandise, or leave it in the fitting rooms on the floor. Unfortunately this can be very frustrating, especially when the fitting rooms are full with clothes not hanged or inside out. During the last two hours before closing, employees have to recover their department, this means they have to clean, fix and pick up anything misplaced or messy. This also can be very frustrating when the department is very messy.

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.
