Pros

None. There are absolutely no pros working at Kohl's.

Cons

There are, however, several cons. First and foremost, I'm suppose to get two 15-minute breaks and a 30-minute lunch. Well, I never do get my second 15-minute break. My supervisor has zero personalty. She might say a grand total of a couple of sentences to me during my 7.5-hour shift. In fact, none of my co-workers say much either. They all seem disgruntled, too. Working third shift, you are stuck inside the building. You can't leave at all. The break room is tiny and cramped. The chairs they have seem like ones at a middle school cafeteria. And the break room itself is dirty and disgusting. Hate putting my food in the refrigerators there because they look like they haven't been cleaned out in years.

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.
