Growth is good but too much growth to soon will lead to trouble.

Pros

You must take on a lot of responsibility so it helps develop time management skills. It's a good place to start a career to learn how businesses are run from the ground up. There's a discount but it's not huge but every bit helps when you have a family.

Cons

The life/work balance is horrible, especially during any holiday. This is the norm with retailers, but until you live it, you truly cannot imagine what it's like. The opportunity for personal growth is slim to none but on the other side there is opportunity for advancement if your district manager likes you. The company expects way to much from their employees, forcing managers to work very long hours, which is why there is a lot of turnover.

Pros

Always something new, gain a lot of leadership skills. Able to advance ones self quickly while working at kohl's.

Cons

The apparel side of the store is not what it can be other than that is is ok. Needs to be better organized on the store level. Pay is not the best but does if you are single or married with no kids. kohls as a company is fair until you get to the store level that is when it gets a little crazy depending on your store managers a assistant managers .

Great Experience at Kohl's

District sales auditor

Pros

I've only been there a short time, but the overall treatment of their employees is what impresses me the most. I have been working for retail companies for over 10 years and I have never experienced the level of respect, understanding and caring that I have experienced while working for Kohl's. I never feel lower than anyone and when working with those in positions above me, I always feel that they are trying to develop me and help me to grow within the company. I have never had a situation where I felt that I was misled or given just enough information to get my job done. I've always found that I was provided with all the information necessary and in most cases, additional information, so that I could be as informed as possible in performing my job.

Cons

For me, the only downsides of working at Kohl's is the commute that I have and the lack of parking on some days. The commute is something that is completely within my control. As for the parking, it is understandable due to the amount of growth that we have at the Corporate office, but I really hope that there is a solution in the works that can help to solve it.
