Pros

your direct team mates, the coffee shop, and cafeteria.

Cons

Senior Managers and above. DO NOT TRUST ANY OF THEM. They all "rule" by fear and intimidation. Kohl's preference is to hire sheep. If you're a sheep and OK with not being able to make a decision or having any leadership responsibilities than the Kohl's Marketing dept is a perfect spot for you. By the time Kohl's Marketing dept is done with you you'll be scared of your own shadow, your soul will be crushed, and you'll need countless therapy sessions to figure out nothing is wrong with you ...... it's them. Kohl's Marketing dept SUCKS. DO yourself a favor and withdraw your application or the thought of even applying. RUN AWAY.

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.
