Pros

Okay benefits a TV to watch in the breakroom Free food every so often First dibs on clearance items.

Cons

Horrible hours. You're lucky if you can even get 20 hours constantly. Horrible, gossipy backstabbing coworkers, You have to suck up to get hours as opposed to doing what benefits the store Horrible, abusive management You have to be forceful with the Kohl's charge, which intimidates and drives the customer away No way to advance unless you're the most popular person in the store

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
