Pros

Was able to strengthen skills in order to move to a better future. Pay, benefits was okay.

Cons

Management and high up people tend to think they run everything and look and talk down to workers. Too much finger pointing and throwing people under the bus. No on takes responsibility for their actions unless it is something good. Promotions are made not by experience or hard work but who you go to lunch with and kiss up too.

Pros

I really like the people I work with. Employees are given a lot of flexibility in dealing with customer's problems. Coffee maker broke after two years use? No problem! Kohl's will be happy to give you another and take back the broken one.

Cons

Low pay for associates. It takes a while to move up to a higher-paying position.
