Pros

-The management team and staff gets to really know you. You feel as you're part of the team immediately and it feels great as a first retail job. -The hours pass by very quickly. - The pay is reasonable for high school students/ college students as a temporary job (if working part time).

Cons

- The hours, the hours, the hours. If there's a slight change in schedule, your request could be denied, leaving you with no choice but to continue working or have to leave. - Hours are very unstable. Could be scheduled to work for 3 days with very limited hours and the following week would be every day. Hard to get around and used to when there are primary concerns. - There was barely any training and thrown right onto the field. It isn't bad if you're a quick learner, but for those who aren't, it can be challenging. - Customers > Employees

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.
