Pros

Kohl's offers a decent employee discount. flexible scheduling, and you are not micromanaged. Promotions can come quickly if there is an opening....and if they like you.

Cons

Kohl's pays sweat shop wages with high expectations. Their hours are poor for a decent work life balance As a new employee you will receive very little to no training even though they pride themselves on their superior training program. You will work like a dog to prove yourself worthy of a promotion. It's just a job, nothing to get all warm and fuzzy over.

Lack of innovation, low salary

Pros

Low stress, very lackadaisical environment, management does bother you if you only do the bare minimum.

Cons

Food is often used in lieu of financial compensation. Very conservative, mid-western environment. If you bid your time no matter what type of a job you do, you will be promoted. But if you are hard working....you generally still have to wait for a promotion. Low wages, management gets away with murder, when they come to work.
