Pros

Flexible hours and usually nice coworkers.

Cons

They wanted us to go beyond "soliciting" credit cards to the very definition of harassing the customers. When they said no, the veteran cashiers just kept asking "why?" Over and over and then try to convince their teenage kids to sign up and even suggested opening a card, paying it once, then closing it. I cannot express how bad that is for your credit. I was even told that when I am on the register my job was to get them to sign up for credit and just that. I was appalled that customer satisfaction was not the goal and that they were fine annoying almost every single person to come through the line. They lost an employee and a customer(who used to spend $100s a year there) along with my whole family in just 4 hours. Their culture is very boss and worker ant compared to a family of coworkers.

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.
