Pros

Overall a stable company considering the current trend of retail Good starting job out of college Good work/life balance Decent pay/benefits/vacation days Friendly people (depending which team you are on) Have had many direct managers that genuinely care and are helpful--not the case for everyone though

Cons

Catty environment-lots of gossip They put emphasis on who can "talk the talk" instead of who can "walk the walk"--it's all about who can bullsh*t the best, rather than who is actually driving sales/business. Too much focus on perception, rather than people who work hard, want their business to thrive, and want to be their own person. Trying to force your employees into a cookie cutter way will only make you lose in the long run

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.
