Pros

Job security--it's a big company that will be around for awhile and is a good resume builder. Also once you reach planner or above, there are annual bonuses worth up to 30% of you total pay. Stock options are given at the AB level and above as well. Also healthcare, there is an on site wellness center that is incredibly cheap ($10 per visit even without insurance) for all family members.

Cons

job security--some people should be fired but aren't. Also this company is nearly TOO big, and is getting slower and slower as far as execution of decisions and good decisions have to go through too many filters. Kohls is a solidly built ship, but hard to steer in the right direction.

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.
