Pros

clean new stores to come to work in variety of products to bring in good consumer base locations across midwest, CA, FL, east coast, and growing

Cons

no bonus for ASM's, we earn the GM their bonus DM's force ASM's to work 70+ hrs per week opening stores, no personal life until 'after open', threatened with jobs often, unfortunately the 'after open' scenario never materializes most management is turned and burned within 18 months

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.
