None of the pros could possibly outweigh these cons. Prepare to be overworked and underpaid: the epitome of all jobs, right?
You're expected to clear your fitting rooms, recover your floor, help any customer with anything, back up on the registers, back up in jewelry, back up in customer service, cover other departments' breaks and lunches and then take your own, answer phone calls for any department, detail racks or fixtures of clothing, lay out freight, do go backs from customer service, solicit credit, then go back to your own department and try and maintain the chaos: all by yourself. One person in Misses, one in Juniors, and one in Mens. No fitting room attendants.
Don't expect sympathy or help from your E3 (managers) on a closing shift, or for them to even abide by company policy. You're required to take a lunch by your 5th on-shift hour but expect not to if you're scheduled for a 4-5-hour closing shift. You'll stay hours after the store has closed—sometimes past midnight!—trying to recover your department with none of these breaks and lunches that should be promised to you. "Teamwork" is their motto to get people to not take them.
If you're swamped with customers do expect your manager to constantly ask for ETAs on when you'll be done to help another department.
Also they get angry if you don't answer the phone on your day off. The work-life/personal-life ratio is nonexistent. Your managers want you to live and breathe Kohl's.
You literally can't win no matter what you do. You'll be reprimanded for not soliciting the Kohl's charge but also for being on the registers for too long; for not responding to back up calls for the registers and then because your floor looks abandoned and you're not recovering fast enough; for not detailing every clothing fixture you place a go-back on but then for not clearing your fitting room in under 15 minutes.
Also expect payroll to be "tight" all the time but mysteriously large enough to compensate for almost every associate working right before a corporate visit.
