Pros

-The opening pay is good for a student. -Received decent hours. -Most of those I worked with were fun to be around.

Cons

-They have you push the Kohl's Charge Card and the email list heavily. If you don't make your quota, you are not only chastised, but are threatened to be fired. -There is a lack of communication between the management and the associates, and if you attempt to talk to the management/make a suggestion, it's ignored unless you can make more than your credit quota. -No matter how much you do to be seen as a good employee, unless you can go above and beyond their credit expectations, you will only be seen as a poor or decent employee.

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.
