Pros

Employee discount was awesome, works on everything, no exclusion. Too bad that's the only thing that's good about the job

Cons

Bad scheduling system, the paper schedule and whatever they have on the system doesn't always match. I have been given unexcused absences for days I wasn't scheduled for. Luckily I took a picture of my paper schedules and kept them as proof. No accountability. The HR person screws things up and the manager does nothing. You do a lot on your shifts! If there's down time, they make you do something else. Felt like high school, the popular talkative people get a lot of recognition. The quiet hardworking ones gets nothing! Raise is laughable, around 10-25 cents. You are better off working at Walmart

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.
