Pros
Working at Kohl’s as a minor/ in highschool gave myself and coworkers a lot of ability to grow in skills and customer service abilities. It can be fun at times with the right coworkers and the right managers just like any other job. The pay was fair but there was no room for greater compensation when more responsibilities were given. Kohls was always super flexible in terms of scheduling and time off.
Cons
Kohls constantly has coupons and sales events going on and coupons and Kohls cash raise a particular point of stress; kohls cash is not reliable to appear in customers kohls “wallets” and customers often felt that coupons were unfair. To work here you definitely need to be able to handle customers yelling at you, throwing things at you, and asking for managers. Honestly the worst part of the job was the customers but that’s typical of any retail job. Kohls managers also typically don’t warm up to you until you start to sign people up for the credit cards, which at times can feel demeaning because of how hard they push it— credits is obviously the only thing the company truly cares about.
