Pros

I have worked at two different Kohl's stores and the biggest thing I noticed is that there are run very differently, no two stores are ran the same. At one, if you wanted more hours they would definitely give it to you, the other would randomly cut you hours but then still call you in to work. Biggest pro is the discount that is stackable with other coupons, it might seem small for 15% but it can get up to 55% during certain times.

Cons

Management only concerned with making the customer happy Heavy pressure to sell credits and rewards cards Definitely favored certain employees Expect a lot for little pay Will have only 1 or 2 employees working in a section but expect you to get all the work done of 4 or 5

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.
