Pros

NONE, no pros at all!

Cons

I was hired as a seasonal freight associate. Orientation didn't take place until 22 days after my hire date. They wanted us to sign up for a Kohl's charge card at orientation. I was not scheduled to work until 29 days after my hire date. I showed up to my first day at 6am, and nobody was there, they had apparently told me the wrong day. My next day's hours were taken away as well due to this mix up. I was only scheduled 8 hours that week and did not get to work any hours because of their mix up. They were very unapologetic about it. I was told I would start the following Monday instead (34 days from hire date), I showed up at 6am and AGAIN nobody was there. Pay was only $9 an hour. This is no way to treat somebody!

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.
