      There are much worse retail jobs out there

      Pros

      As far as retail goes, it was generally an easy place to work. The POS systems were pretty intuitive and fast, which made getting customers out the door a short process. For the most part, customers who came in were in a good mood, likely because of the constant bargains. Also management was fairly kind and understanding.

      Cons

      After being there about six months, management started really pushing us sales associates to sign customers up for the Kohl's credit card. I previously left a position at Macy's because I did not like the sales goal aspect of the position, so trying to persuade people to sign up for credit cards reminded me all too much of Macy's. But I understand it's what a company has to do.

      Bad managers will be the death of that place

      Pros

      Great culture with genuine concern about the well being of the employees. Good benefits, The wellness center/gym is amazing. Great people.

      Cons

      Leaders with teams struggling with high turnover rates and bad leadership seem to get more rewards that the consistent teams with high morale and performance. The attempts to fix the problem seem to end in the promotion of the person that is causing teams to struggle.
