Pros

- friendly management and friendly coworkers - employees get 15% off on all Kohl's merchandise - all ages work here! - most of time seemed like a very calm environment

Cons

- this could be a con for some and a pro for others, but you are on your feet all day. I looked at my FitBit after an 8 hour shift and it said I had taken 14,000 steps and had walked 6 miles. So some may enjoy it, while others may find it exhausting and draining - the breaks seem a bit short. You only get 30 minutes for lunch on an 8 hour shift, however they do give you two 15 minute breaks as well. So if your 30 min break isn't scheduled until 3:45pm or so, you'd be trying to cram in eating lunch in your first 15 min break. - the pay isn't great - considered on the low side. As a sales associate, you are making just $12.50/hour. - also a con or a pro: the repetitive activities you do such as folding, straightening, walking back and forth, and ringing up customers for hours at a time could be draining for some or stimulating for others
