Pros

I had great employees beneath me! Great co-supervisors!

Cons

Literally everything. I left because, after 10 months nothing had changed. I still was not trained fully and no one seemed to care. My store manager lied and said he was trying to promote me but in fact has nothing good to say about me. I never once trusted a soul in that building to have my back. The store I worked in was an absolute mess from the top that trickled down. My store manager did not come out of his office unless it was to just check on the front for a few minutes or it was his upfront shift. Rarely did I see him help with tasks around the store. My store manager, and assistant managers constantly struggled with effective scheduling to help drive business and ensure all areas of the store were covered. Many times as I showed up to work I would notice holes and gaps in the schedules which left us scrambling for us to pull someone away for the task to help for up to 30 minutes to an hour. Hiring new people while cutting the current staffs hours was rubbing everyone the wrong way. As I exited my life at kohls I went around and asked everyone how they were feeling. They were not happy hours are being given to unproven workers who did not want to be there. Which many new folks would leave on a NCNS. (Which I Understand at my location) My direct boss, I wonder how she landed that position. She would sneakily change schedules to fit her schedule, constantly going on vacation while all our departments needed help. Truly seemed like everyone was out for themselves and did not care about the next person. I would never ever recommend this business to anyone. $17 for a supervisor? You can go work anywhere as a part time/Full time associate for $15-$17 an hour now a days without having to be a manager. $12 for a part-time associate who does ALL the work around the store? They need a little more respect. I hope to see Kohls respecting employees in the future a bit more. Good Luck everyone!

Pros

The culture at Kohl's is very inclusive and specifically within the DS organization there is a lot of collaboration of ideas. Depending on your team you will have more of an hands on approach, some days feeling closer to an applied scientist than a data scientist.

Cons

Disconnect between priorities with leadership roles. Salary is not competitive, opportunities for promotions are limited regardless of your deemed performance by your direct manager.
