Recession proof?

Pros

Kohl's is a growing company, even during these hard economic times. The company believes they are recession proof, and I hope they are right. Also, because the company is so large, there are a lot of opportunities for your career to grow. I started as a shoe associate while I was completing my education. Management recognized my talents and moved me into the beauty department, where I was trained in cosmetic consulting. Now, I'm starting as a assistant store manager.

Cons

Long hours and really late nights when closing the store. During the holiday season the store closes at midnight and the employees are often there until 4 a.m. recovering the store. Poor training on all levels from sales associates to management.

Do your research before accepting offer- talk to the people on the sales floor.

Pros

It's a profitable, growing company with good product selection and marketing. Benefits are great if you qualify.

Cons

Unfortunately, the frontline employees are why it's so profitable and they do not get the respect or reward they earn. Most stores are severely understaffed to save on salary and the customers do not get the service they deserve. Kohls advertises itself as a department store, but does not follow through with the service that department stores are known for. Employees are worked to the bone because they will not invest the dollars in more sales staff.
