Pros

You can ALWAYS get hours. You might be assigned 10 hours a week but people always drop their shift so you could easily do 30+ hours if you want.

Cons

CREDIT. CREDIT. CREDIT. CREDIT. CREDIT. CREDIT. I ABSOLUTELY HATE HARASSING CUSTOMERS TO PURCHASE CREDIT CARDS. Kohl's puts so much pressure on forcing the associates to badger customers to sign up for credit cards. Ive worked at other retail stores and its NEVER been to this extent. THe managers are constantly looking over your shoulder to make sure you ask each customer THREE TIMES for a credit. After 1 month of working here I had to quit because I HATED it so much. You also only get 15 or 20 minute breaks which are not NEARLY enough since you are on your feet the whole shift. Managers only respect the employees that sell credit and treat everyone else badly.

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.
