Pros

- Great coworkers. - Nice customers (for the most part). - Lots of Associate Shop Days and a decent employee discount. - Always new things to learn and do! - Plenty of room for advancement and cross-training.

Cons

- Burnout can happen very quickly, especially if you work POS a lot. - Customers can be nasty. - Managers breathing down your neck about selling credit and emails. - The pay is horrible. - Overworked and understaffed at times. - Unrealistic expectations. - Sporadic hours. One week you can work 30 hours and the next you'll work 4. Sometimes you'll be scheduled to close the store one day and open the store the very next day.

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.
