Pros

- Most of the work is pretty simple - If you're lucky, you'll be with helpful managers and friendly co-workers

Cons

- Constantly pushed to sell credit cards - Have to deal with customers who go crazy about Kohl's Cash and the company's convoluted discount exclusions - Store is almost always understaffed, so you will be expected to perform the jobs of 2-3 people simultaneously - The pay is atrocious, especially compared to similar positions at other retail stores - Because of the payroll structure, hours are wildly inconsistent. Not only will you not be working the same schedule each week, but you might work 40 hours one week and 16 hours the next (if you're part time)

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.
