Pros

Despite being retail, I was hired on as seasonal and loved every bit of it. Moved from replenishment to department associate and loved interacting with the customers. They kept me on after seasonal and I worked all parts of the store, but unfortunately the payroll was running low so they had to cut me. Would definitely go back again for seasonal or when business picks up again. Management is wonderful, the "E3's" show interest in your personal life and love to see you succeed. If you're a silent, quiet kind of person, no--you won't really receive much recognition or get to experience the full benefits of working at Kohl's. However, if you are a people person and are willing to go out of your way just to say "hi" and interact with customers/associates, you will have a lot of fun and be recognized as a person, not just a seasonal associate.

Cons

Completing all tasks on only a 4 hour shift would often prove difficult, but management understood that you could only do what time allowed for. Teamwork is key to success.

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.
