Pros

My coworkers make life at Kohl's tolerable. They are some of the nicest and most helpful people I have ever met. Additionally, there are a few managers who are decent here too.

Cons

Senior management is only concerned with the numbers (ie how many credit applications the associates open every day, did the store make the daily sales goal or not). Favoritism runs rampant at this store and some managers practically ignore you if you aren't one of their pets. Senior management also will lie to your face and tell you what you want to hear so you will leave them alone (for example, if you bring up your concerns about the number of hours you are getting they will tell you it will get better even if they don't mean it). I've always been a very hard-working employee but I'm getting increasingly frustrated by the way business is conducted here. It seems like management is trying to get some of the employees to quit.

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.
