Pros

Kohl's has recognized and enhanced the skills and knowledge that I brought to the company. I really appreciate the teamwork mentality, understanding that each leader does not need to be the expert on every aspect of the business. I am given the opportunity to work on projects that play to my strengths and that I truly enjoy. I am frequently given the creative license to run with my ideas and when things do not go according to plan, the feedback I am given is always constructive. As a manager, I truly care about the success of my Associates and I feel the same from my management team.

Cons

Work/Life balance may vary by manager.

Pros

Work like balance Salary is decent

Cons

Terrible leadership. The ONLY thing corporate cares about is pushing the credit card. You never hear them talking or tracking sales, just credit. Unrealistic goals as to what can be accomplished with the tiny bit of payroll given. Customers are given anything they want as long as they complain to the DM - doesn't matter if what they're asking is outside of policy. You'll be thrown under the bus constantly. The associates no morale because they're expected to have open availability while given 0-16 hrs a week and brow beat for not selling enough credit or folding and entire department and maintain fitting rooms while doing backup on register in a 4 hour shift. I actually quit after a few months and was asked to return. Worst decision of my life was giving them a second chance. Terrible, terrible company. Insurance is subpar. The bonus is a JOKE!
