Pros

Standard 15% employee discount on anything in the store. Friends and Family discount 4 times a year, 2 20% coupons plus additional 15% employee discount. 35% of anything 4 times a year for "employee appreciation weeks". Some of the management is very kind and respectful and seem to actually care about you as a person. They cater food for the employees a few times a year too. Weekly pay on Fridays. Some fun employees, shifts can be enjoyable.

Cons

Several of the managers are very rude and treat you like just another number in the system. Management pushes incredibly hard for credit numbers and how they treat you is how well you perform. The pay is okay however you don't get raises. The only raise you can get is if you stay for a year, you earn a $0.10 increase in your hourly pay which is laughably low. Several of the employees hate their job and they take it out on you if you don't know what you're doing.

Pros

The 15% associate discount is pretty good and the job is okay if you want experience or are building a resume.

Cons

The pay is god awful. A barista at Dunkin Donuts makes more than most employees at Kohl's. People who have worked ten years at Kohls makes the same amount as a fresh hire. It's unbelievable. The benefits are non existent too and there is no real work/life balance either. In order to get some hours, you have to open up your availability every day including weekends so every work week will be completely random. My store is filled with a lot of neurotic woke women and diversity hires so there can be quite a lot of drama happening between associates and managers over petty crap reminiscent of high school. H2's and managers play favorites and only care about making credit. Many of them are annoying authoritarian's that micromanage other employees to the point where they start to doubt their abilities.
