OK place to work

Pros

Very competitive pay, fast growing company and really set up to be successful in the years to come. Overall a good place to work!

Cons

Not a whole lot of room for growth, especially in the market I was in. Company really started using interns and MIT programs in the recent years, good for college grads and people new to the industry, not great for those that had put in the real work when the company exploded in early 2003-present.

Always on the Go

Pros

If you like fast-paced environments where you are always engaging with people, retail gives you that. The discount is generous and associate shop days double it's value. Additionally, part-time help are eligible for benefits after a year - a rare commodity.

Cons

The workload is intense, which makes it difficult to complete all the tasks that need to happen daily in running the store. Corporate often changes the workload schedule at the last minute, causing shifts in management's schedule. This makes it hard to maintain the work-life balance corporate stresses is a priority.

Pros

Kohl's is a growing company with good benefits and could be a great company to work for if a few changes were made (see Cons)

Cons

Senior Management of some departments are clueless on what the "workers" do. Senior Management does NOT listen to concerns. Corporate is very Political. It is all about how much an associate is liked by the Sr Management and not by the work they do. The hard workers get the shaft because they don't spend their day following the right people around and kissing up.
