Pros

All the girls are very sweet and work as a team. Break room is pretty big, training is offered through the computer every week. Every month associates receive gratis (free) items ranging from travel size to full size so that we can test out the products ourselves at home and learn more about them. Every 30 hours worked I believe is equal to 2 hours of collected paid time off for part timers. Break room is the one that Kohl's offers, there's no separate break room for Sephora, but its nice to get to know the Kohls associates as well. Its a pretty big breakroom and sometimes Kohl's management will buy everyone food, especially for events like Christmas, new years. Associate discount is 15% and applies to Sephora at Kohl's (no free standing Sephora store) and towards any Kohl's items as well. During holidays, discounts are BIG for associates especially if you have the Beauty Insider reward program with Sephora.

Cons

Hours given are not the best, but of course that depends on your availability. It can get very busy, customers take a lot of your time with things so it requires a lot of patience and time management as there are things to be done other than helping and ringing out customers. Pay attention to the trainings as customers can be very specific with their concerns, often asking for a certain ingredient they need to avoid or are looking for. So it is important to know not just the brands but the items/ingredients themselves specifically. Some things (gift cards, returns) from main Sephora stores cannot be transferred to Kohl's Sephoras so it causes a lot of confusion and upset with the customers.

Pros

None. I was hired to be a person that restocks and cleans, they saw I was able to ring up and put me as a cashier.

Cons

Very little pay, terrible training, horrible management and some terrible customers. Disgusting location also, I went to a manager about toilet paper out in the women restroom, he told me it was a morning task. It was 7pm, the store closed at 11pm! Also CASHIERS ARE LYING YO CUSTOMERS TO GET THEM TO OPEN CREDIT CARDS! Shady stuff I heard as a cashier. Also during my interview no one showed up, when I called the manager made it seem like I was bugging her for my interview
