Not great

Pros

The employee discount is really good and it's useful around Christmas. You have the opportunity to pick up extra hours all the time.

Cons

Your day off isn't really your day off. You'll be called the minute someone calls off and they WILL make you feel guilty if you say no to coming in. Management is pretty terrible and they cut hours based on the amount of credit applications you get.

Pros

Nice people. Friendly environment--but politically tricky.

Cons

Lack of direction. Weak leadership from the top down. Inexperienced people put in critical decision maker spots. Little upward mobility. Weak HR dept. Terrible fashion merchandise. Sitting on its glory days. Unable to make necessary moves forward. Senior management acts like they're infallible and untouchable.

Pros

Flexible Schedule, generous discounts, and a nice social life. Most people that work at Kohl's are really nice.

Cons

Pressure of selling the Kohl's credit card. Some customers are extremely rude, especially since we no longer accept expired Kohl's Cash.
