Pros

Kohl's offers many benefits and new training programs for associates. Kohls also demostrates good management within the company and within the stores. Store associates get along and all discuss problems that thye might have with out having to hide it from each other. Kohls is a good place to be if you like working with people.

Cons

Understaffed and very little hours are given to part time employees. The complaint is high and the district manager is always calling in to cut hours for associates. Even after the schedule has been posted they take your hours away and you are not to report to work on a certain day.

Pros

Kohl's gives the employee a great opportunity for career growth. Not only that but you are proud of the work you do and the contribution you are making to the store. With many new stores opening you are given the opportunity to really feel like it is your store and you helped to make it what it is.

Cons

Lots and lots of hard work. Management does not always tell the employees they are doing a good job. I feel more feedback on job performance is necessary to keep employees motivated.

Pros

You are given 3 weeks paid vacation- 2 for being there, and 1 more for working 6 days a week during December. The benefits are very good, including dental and eye plans. You are also gauarenteed every other weekend off which is unheard of in retail.

Cons

The biggest issues I had was not beeing developed. Out of a 9 month time period my district manager never walked my store floor with me once to show me what I was doing well and what I needed to improve. This was the main reason I left. I wanted to learn and get better at what I was doing, but no one seemed willing to teach me.
