Pros

Decent benefits, nice coworkers, lots of schedule flexibility and there were always employees that could cover your shift, and they offer benefits for cashiers when they get an application (credit).

Cons

As a cashier, immense pressure to have people open Kohl's Charges. Management never satisfied; bullied those who do not do as well. Sometimes they would publicly humiliate those who were not performing as well on credit by writing who underachieved on the good morning sheets they have every morning to tell employees where they are in their departments. They do not take into consideration effort; all they want are results and will guilt employees regardless of how hard they try and work. The incentive for credit applications if less than a dollar most days and there are no real benefits for the sales floor people because they are never on a register. Unfair rewards because they base everything on earning credit apps.

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.
