Pros

the discount and employee shopping days

Cons

long hours, having to be available to work when they want you to... even 3rd shift... messy customers, not enough sales floor coverage to run a store...

Pros

Several people have told me that the main corporate office is a good place to work. Don't work in the credit center - you'll regret it.

Cons

Belittlement, condescension, and lying seem par for management. I never felt that I could trust anyone (save a few select people), and was put in a negative light because one person in management made assumptions. I wasn't allowed to progress along any type of career path because of false information about me.

Pros

Kohl's has great benefits and programs for its employees. It is extremely involved with its communities through scholarship programs and volunteer programs to help non-profits. They are working on taking big box retail to the next level.

Cons

Limited technology so far, very cost conscious which makes payroll very tight, not promoting from within the lower store levels as much as they should (putting too much focus on unproven college students)
