Pros

This is a large, dynamic company. There are lots of opportunities to work on interesting projects. Good pay and the benefits - cafeteria, wellness center, concierge, volunteer opportunities - make it a fun place to work

Cons

The company is struggling to adapt to a changing retail environment and it doesn't seem to have a cohesive strategy to address this. Kohl's relies way too much on the "this is way we do things" mentality which holds it back. Advancement is extremely hard to come by.

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.
