      Relatively Negative with Caveats

      Pros

      Relative to other retailers in its market segment, Kohl's is more profitable and thus more likely to grow and prosper. This can make it a good place to work if your long-term interests are to grow within the company.

      Cons

      One's experience working at Kohl's depends almost entirely on the store in which you are employed. If you are working at a store with incompetent management or petty coworkers then it can be a decidedly unpleasant and place to be.

      Do NOT expect great things!

      Pros

      Good discounts on merchandise & flexible hours are pros. Fair wages are paid in our market for experience and tenure past one year.

      Cons

      Where to begin? Hard work is usually unrewarded, and then only by getting a few more hours the next week or two. Promotions are very hard to come by unless you are young and/or attractive. This is not a job that will pay bills: many part-time sales, freight and POS associates only get one or two shifts per week (5 to 8 hours). Managers within same store have different ways of approaching situations -- very confusing. In many stores there is a lack of communication or direction to employees. Real turnoffs are the ever-constant credit applications push, and the fitting room / sales floor recovery disasters that occur on busy days. There is way too much stock on the floor in clothing lines, and not enough stock of what the store is selling (hot items).

      Not a bad job.

      Pros

      The pay was ok. The work wasn't too hard and it was very easy to learn how to do it.

      Cons

      Long shifts over night make it hard to do anything during the day. AC turns off when the store closes so it would get hot in the backroom.
