Pros

I really like the associates. We developed great camaraderie. I liked participating in A Team events, helping out the community. We tried to have fun things to look forward to like football Jersey team day, potlucks, and cookouts.

Cons

No work life balance. Kohls doesn't care about employees. Benefits weren't great either. Very stressful, not enough payroll. I had surgery, they called me an hour after I got out, asking me when I can be back in. They made you feel bad for taking any time off. Store manager was also stealing time and lying about it. When the store manager was there, they stayed in the office all day making the other managers run the store.

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.
