Pros

Good job/company to have on a resume. Contractors cannot work overtime so I always worked 40 hours weeks.

Cons

I don't even know where to begin. This company relies heavily on contractors/consultants/freelancers to staff their many departments. These contractors do A LOT of work (especially in my department) and do not get compensated for it. It's kind of a disgusting concept as consultants do not get any sort of benefits, are unable to use the Wellness Center (health clinic), do not receive a Kohl's discount and are unable to work from home. Not to mention the fact that consultants have restricted access to some things, making it difficult and incredibly annoying to do your work sometimes. This company should be embarrassed by the way they treat their consultants. Have some respect! It's also very difficult to secure a permanent position within the company. They are reluctant to hire consultants from different departments so unless the dept. you are a contractor in has a job opening, good fricken luck getting a position in another dept. This is incredibly discouraging and really makes you wonder what Kohl's is trying to do. Bunch of jerks.

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.
