Pros

Pays pretty well Depending on your role you can do your job in 40 hours a week or so management seems approachable Good benefits at good prices

Cons

Many people tend to be fake Job promotions are based solely on how much you are liked- you can be terrible at your job and still get promoted- put a smile on your face and do the minimum- you will be promoted in no time. Management doesn't communicate with each other much rather the lower than management levels.

Pros

It is a pleasant place to work, there are opportunities for advancement and the management is very good. I love it there.

Cons

Some downsides would be the startout pay and also the drama sometimes between staff members. But there are downsides to any job.

Pros

You do get an employee discount on products which was nice (though easy to spend too much of your paycheck there!)

Cons

Cashiers are highly pressured by managers to get customers to apply for Kohl's charge cards. It was so annoying and I hated it. They pay you a small commission for each application you get, usually 50 cents or so. But the pressure was ridiculous; store level managers got pressure from upper management and they had quotas/"goals" for how many applications per day.
