Pros

Very good environment to work in. Love my coworkers, and management staff, and most of the customers are amazing, however, you have the one bad customer here and there.

Cons

I have worked at Kohl's for 2 years now, and I have a total retail experience of 3 years, and I only make $10.10/hour. With the recent addition of Sephora to my store, they are being paid way more than me. I do know that they are being paid by Sephora standards, and I do understand that they need to know product knowledge and stuff like that, but I still think it is a little ridiculous the pay gap. The starting Sephora associate at Kohl's makes $15.00/hour. I have work at this company for over 2 years and have been an employee of the month 2 times, and the only reason I have not been it more times is that you can only be an employee of the month once per year. I think it is outrageous that a new employee at Sephora makes $5 more than me when I have been working 2 years longer than them at the same store.

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.
