Pros

Had a great team to work with, employee discount benefits are pretty nice, training and expectations are pretty clear. The newer or updated stores provide a pretty pleasant and efficient working environment. I appreciate the company's push toward green habits and design, reflected in the energy efficiency of the stores, recycling, etc.

Cons

Was not a fan of the incentive based credit card pushing and daily credit and email goals. As a shopper I get rather annoyed by it, personally, and I didn't enjoy feeling pressured to push it on others. The pay was just slightly above minimum wage. I was incredibly disappointed when they started opening early for Black Friday. As a company that proposes to uphold family values, I think it is an incredibly counter-intuitive strategy.

Pros

The culture at Kohl's is very inclusive and specifically within the DS organization there is a lot of collaboration of ideas. Depending on your team you will have more of an hands on approach, some days feeling closer to an applied scientist than a data scientist.

Cons

Disconnect between priorities with leadership roles. Salary is not competitive, opportunities for promotions are limited regardless of your deemed performance by your direct manager.
