Pros

they pay hourly associates above minimum wage, you also get a raise after 3 months, they have plenty of hours to go around

Cons

major issues with scheduling system; having to get people to sign up for their credit cards; rating the skills of their employees based on how many credit card applications they are able to get; many times, employees are very strongly encouraged to stay hours after their shift because of the lack of employees; also due to the lack of employees, the scheduled employees are forced to do anywhere from double to ten times the amount of work that should be expected, and are yelled at when they are unable to do it all

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.
