Pros

The best employee discount you will ever find in retail!

Cons

Most of the managers were very nice and actually worked and cared, but the micromanaging was a pain and hurtful to the culture. I understand the need to ensure an effective work flow, but, for self-driven and caring workers, it is irritating and creates a negative feedback loop which only ends up hurting production. Many a times (sometimes several times per hour), my work flow was interrupted only for a manager to inform me about something of which I had already been aware and for which engagement was imminent. This disrupts one mentally and physically. Now, don't get me wrong, there are lazy workers that need to be micromanaged! In regards to corporate management (those who worked in the corporate section of the South Plainfield store), there is nothing to find but glut. Too many heads chasing too few tasks, redundancies, and not enough bang for the many bucks paid to certain positions. I'm sure this is the case in many corporations, but it was palpable and undeniable here. Even the managers thought so. There were other negative feedback loops as well, but, this is enough writing for me to get 12-month unlimited access to Glassdoor.

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.
