Pros

Decent benefits package if you stay on long enough. "Yes We Can" initiative gives surprising amount of independent judgement to POS associates when dealing with customers. Bonuses (albeit small) provided for credit card applications. Management was pleasant and reasonable.

Cons

Aggressive credit card application quotas. Customers will take take advantage of POS Associates ability to determine discounts. Certain times of the retail year (back-to-school, Christmas) can be unbearable!

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.
