Pros

The non-salaried employees are very friendly and like to help each other when needed and the employee discount is phenomenal.

Cons

Managers show little to no respect to employees and do not give praise when it is deserved (other than candy or a card saying "Good Job!"). Hours and rewards are based off of how many customers you can get to sign up for the Kohl's credit card which is a customer's choice, not the employees. I personally feel that this is unfair. When you do not get credit card applications, the managers are very negative and one employee was actually called a "dud" because she was not apply to get sign anyone up for a credit card. Other cons include: minimum wage, managers expecting employees to stay past their scheduled time, and little incentive to move up within the company.

Kohls treats their employees so horribly.

Pros

The best reason to work at Kohl's are the other employees. Everyone is always so great and they treat you like family.

Cons

The management team doesn't know how to treat employees. They don't appreciate you when you do a good job. They don't pay enough to deal with so much crap from customers and management.
