Pros

The 15% employee discount is boosted several times a year during associate shop days. Time off without pay is easy to take. Most of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

Recently I was informed that as a part-time employee, I could no longer work more than 26 hours/week! The pay is just above minimum wage to start and lower than most retailers in our area. More skilled positions don't make much more. Staffing is inadequate, leading to heavier work loads for those that are there. Excellent customer service is supposedly the highest priority, yet nearly impossible due to lack of employees scheduled.

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.
