Pros

There were some really great people working at Kohl's.

Cons

The Yes We Can policy made everything difficult by honoring Kohl's Cash from months after the expiration date and even further beyond that date. Pushing heavily on credit, even going above the allotted discount amount to meet store goal set by corporate. There were times to where Management would stay in the office and it was sometimes a chore to get them to help you out. Management within this particular store seemed to lack the ability to lay down the law sometimes.

Pros

The job itself is a very simple task. Anyone who is willing to learn can do it with ease. You also gain vital experience working in a freight-like setting, which could be beneficial for future jobs. You also get paid weekly (may not be the same for your store!) The dress code is very lenient, so you can dress casually. Supervisors and Management are very open-minded to decisions

Cons

Hours can be and are EXTREMELY limited. You usually are only scheduled when a truck comes in, and even then you are NOT guaranteed hours. Trucks may not come in often. The management likes to add you to a schedule last minute, it can be highly inconvenient. There is heavy lifting involved. Hours can change at a moments notice You sometimes must work very early in the morning, or very late at night

Pros

The position paid well and had good benefits. Training program right out of college was very thorough. The company invests a lot in this program

Cons

Say farewell to enjoying any holiday season with your families. As managers you are unable to ever request a large holiday off. Also there was never enough payroll to accomplish all that was expected on top of assisting customers and keeping store presentable
