Pros

benefits, flex hours, good first job in retail to learn

Cons

not enough communication between management to supervisors and assocaites. When assocaites have open availability and the skills to do the job yet get passed over for promotions by younger people who dont have the skills. Never enough payroll or time to the job we are suppose to do because corp keeps cutting the hours alloted for the job.

Pros

managers can be friendly at times

Cons

Little to no training been working here for almost a year now there’s still something I don’t know every day. What was most difficult for me was being at registers as I was trained in two days by shadowing someone. There are so many situations and problems that will come up every day and you will learn something new! They never taught me about Kohl’s cash, how to read receipts, reprint or edit receipts. They schedule so little so when you do learn something there’s no chance of rehearsal because you come in three weeks later working at a different department.
