Pros

The discount is nice to have, especially around the holidays when you get the Associate And Friends & Family discount. As ad set, you are pretty much walking around each pad, scanning merchandise to ensure accurate signing. It's good if you like a certain amount of autonomy.

Cons

I don't like the management at my store. The Ad Set Supervisor is a nice person and good, but those above her are not very forgiving and I feel they have something against me as a man. The whole operation feels very feminist, especially with always calling the customer her or she. I understand the whole thing is targeted towards women, but I know a few men who like Kohl's, myself included. If you are intimidated by feminine biases, I do not suggest Kohl's.

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.
