Pros

Going in early, getting out at decent time.

Cons

Not enough hours. Start around Thanksgiving and hours will be 20+ per week as part time. Once January rolls around, hours down to 5 or 8 hours a week if your lucky. And then they call and say no truck, so you get no hours at all for the week. Morning meetings consist of telling you how much you need to push the credit card; even if you have no idea about it. Sing the praises of certain people constantly, even though everyone’s busting their butts. Some attitude with people who start a month before you did, telling you what to do, even though they’re no higher than you and doing the same job. People need to leave their attitudes at the door and be decent to their coworkers. I have a name and had a name tag on my shirt, but one women kept snapping her fingers and calling me “you.” Really. I even told her I have a name and name tag.

Pros

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and my coworkers were all very pleasant. They were flexible with shifts.

Cons

Asking people repeatedly to sign up for Kohl's charge cards got old quickly.

Pros

I really can't think of any pros of working there except for free food occasionally.

Cons

Very low pay! Transferred to this location from a different store, and had issues with the store manager from day one! He doesn't treat his employees with respect and he definitely has favorite employees who always get what they want from him. After 4 1/2 years of employment with them, they still treated me like garbage and would not work with my availability. I contacted corporate to get help with the situation, and they were useless and basically took the store managers side. I wasted so many years of my life at this place...I would not recommend working for them.
