Pros

Flexibility and the ability to request time off (within reason) online from home.

Cons

Does not pay a living wage and never schedules a full 40-hour work week, which means store is chronically and critically understaffed. Merchandise amasses in the stockroom, due to lack of associates available to move it to the floor. (You can't sell a product if customers don't know you have it or if you can't find it in the piles of boxes in the stockroom. This leads to "phantom stock-outs" and lost sales.) Training is a joke, with emphasis on how to be nice rather than how to competently do your job. There is a lot of video-only training that doesn't allow interaction. On-the-job training is truncated due to understaffing.

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.
