Pros

The benefits and extra perks on the side! Plus, for the most part, it's a young and vibrant company...easy for younger people to make the transition from school to the working world.

Cons

HR pretty much decides your career path for you. The pay as a specialist isn't great and a lot of offices and/or individuals do not give the respect a specialist deserves.

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.
