Pros

It's a retail job--it is what it is. Okay for part-time extra money etc. Not a place to advance unless college degree.

Cons

As a customer looking in, I see over worked sales people with no control over fitting rooms because of no policy on Kohls part or maybe just my store. Training is next to nothing. Hopefully when you have to do something you've never done a co worker will show you how if your lucky.

Pros

i have a flex schedule, work with decent ppl , and health insurance.

Cons

cut hours, cut staff, unreal goals=great things ?????? for the most part i enjoy working for kohls the expectations are getting unreal . unload a truck and have all the merchandise out in 4 hrs ? sure ! mark all the clearence in store all departments and have it 90% completed and sized and buy percentage by the end of the day with a team of 5 ppl . yeah right !!! deal with the horrible returns and code 7's and make sure the strikepoints are correct cause some pant load from corp. office is flying around in the kohls jet and might come in and see ...gasp.......there is no staff ! and the store looks like you know what. cant do that oh no !!! 3 different mgrs telling you to do 3 different things. oh my gosh changing the sale every other day !!!!! what a waste of time and very "green scene" . i hate the power hours on sat afternoon when the customers get frantic cause there missing out on the "big" savings which is usally only a $1.00 and they herd themsleves to the check-out where the one person there calls for back up which is you and then your stuck blabbing about kohls charge card . and then you go back to your dept which is trashed. its fun ! ....really ! :)

Pros

There's a complete training system.

Cons

Managers ask me work a lot of hours after I told them I have school. And school was my priority. They don't care about my situation and said if I complain then maybe I shouldn't work there.
