It started off fun and exciting with a lot of promises from management, then it became a place I dread going every day. - Misses Department Supervisor Kohl's Employee Review

Pros

-You will always be busy, most of the time, too busy.

Cons

-Terrible pay, no raises until August, which then it's $0.50. Big whoop. -Too high of expectations -Unrealistic work load, and again for little pay -They have to have a certain amount of employees, but then they have payroll limitations. I was told that was being "fiscally responsible". WOW. Totally backwards from what it should be and what they promise in interviews. If you have employees, use them. They overwork full time employees, which I had to beg for 38 hours, when I was promised 40 in my interview. -Beware

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
