Pros

The discounts, associate shop days + your associate discount.

Cons

The super low pay rate, the pesky customers who "forgot" their coupons, depending on the store...the managers, the ridiculous hour that they open and close (who is going to buy a candle at 11pm at night?).

Pros

Nice atmosphere. Nice management & co workers. Very good return policy. "Okay" employee discount. I don't have to cover my tattoo. Great sales. PT employees get benefits.

Cons

Kohl's charge this, kohl's charge that! Kohl's is ALL about making a dollar..They dont give you hours unless you get a lot of "C's" (kohl's charge card apps) They make you work LONG hours & give you breaks when they want you to have them, IF you ever get them. I had my lunch break 40 mins before i was due to get off & when i got back i was told i wasn't supposed to take it without being "relieved".. after working a LONG shift, starving, with an unauthorized break, they STILL asked me to stay late. Did i mention the pay was lousy? Minimum wage. Honestly i don't think they pay me enough for my aggravation & agony. They expect WAY too much work for WAY too little money.
