Pros

some work life balance, nice cafeteria, meet a lot of great people

Cons

almost impossible to move up within the company unless you are really good at "playing the game". Of course there is ample opportunity to move laterally, if that's what you are in to. Pay average to below average. In the department I worked in, the college interns had a program in place where they would come work for a few months, go back to school, and if they were picked to be hired, they would be hired on a level above current employees - which is a joke and does not send a positive message to current employees, makes you feel little to no value.

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.
