Pros

flexible schedule and so called discounts for which they will fire you later on

Cons

This company is the worst with its policies, they will terminate you for awful reasons. I just used my coupon and after a few days I had the so called "LOSS PREVENTION" team call me in the office and started to mention what the loss prevention does and how many types of cameras they have and so on. Then they tell me that they will be suspending me a for a week and the HR will call for more info. I get a call a week after saying that I have been terminated for coupon abuse. They fired me for just for using a coupon that was officially there on the their website to be used. They made me sign an apology letter and also asked me if I can reimburse the amount of the coupons back to the company.

Pros

- A supportive group of people; true to the Midwest nice and hospitality expectations. - Better work-life balance for hourly employees

Cons

- Not being included in mentoring programs = harder to "climb up" - Favoritism and cliquey; I mean, it's the Midwest, and it's so cliquey here that it doesn't matter what you know, it's WHO you know - Outdated systems: bridging issues at Kohl's is constant and quite embarrassing. It delays the whole operation and supply chain when data is not being transferred from one system to another. Every day is a battle between submitting tickets and going back and forth with external partners, trying to explain that the system just sucks and it's literally above our pay grade. - Weird internal movement/development guidelines; they would likely hire someone off the streets rather than support internal employees, which is weird because wouldn't it make more sense to hire someone already familiar with the systems than someone completely new? And why does one need the current manager's approval to move on to another department? What if you're not one of your boss's favorites, but you are a great asset? Does that mean they have to sit there suppressing their talents due to someone's opinion? It's no wonder that people are leaving Kohl's, and the only people who are staying behind are the ones who are still nostalgic for what Kohl's used to be.
