Pros

A lot of the people are great to work with and are some of my closest friends.

Cons

There is never enough payroll to run the store properly. Store quality depends on management. I've had great managers and horrible ones. There is too much emphasis on soliciting credit. No one really cares about anything else. Kohl's discounts and return policy encourages fraud.

Pros

Decent discounts, especially during associate appreciation day Gave a decent amount of hours, usually about 30 per week for part-time

Cons

Played favorites a lot Really emphasized on getting credit, expected for you to get 10-15 a DAY, if not you were fired Seasonal position, was told I was staying, yet they fired me and kept people that were late to work and made less credit, clearly playing favorites
