Pros

- co-workers were nice - surprisingly, most customers were nice - intern trip to Milwaukee was awesome. Met a lot of different interns across the country which was really cool. - if your into retail and actually enjoy it, the intern program is a great way to possibly get into the MIT program which is a good program with a lot of cool benefits - this internship helped me realize that retail is not for me

Cons

- Interns should have been able to choose their summer department - Project was way too extensive for the amount of time the internship was - Pay and hours were horrible... worked every weekend, all weekend - Management puts too much pressure and emphasis on employees to meet credit goals.. an employee can always be late, show up whenever they want but wont be let go as long they are a credit goal star - E3 is a joke lol, they do the same things managers do.. except more work and less pay

Pros

Nice atmosphere. Nice management & co workers. Very good return policy. "Okay" employee discount. I don't have to cover my tattoo. Great sales. PT employees get benefits.

Cons

Kohl's charge this, kohl's charge that! Kohl's is ALL about making a dollar..They dont give you hours unless you get a lot of "C's" (kohl's charge card apps) They make you work LONG hours & give you breaks when they want you to have them, IF you ever get them. I had my lunch break 40 mins before i was due to get off & when i got back i was told i wasn't supposed to take it without being "relieved".. after working a LONG shift, starving, with an unauthorized break, they STILL asked me to stay late. Did i mention the pay was lousy? Minimum wage. Honestly i don't think they pay me enough for my aggravation & agony. They expect WAY too much work for WAY too little money.

Pros

the benefits were good, the manager was flexible with scheduling requests. always able to pick up more shifts if you needed to. they seemed to hire other employees that were dependable and hard working so it was a pretty pleasant place to work.

Cons

it's retail and open late during the holiday season and Black Friday and the day after Xmas are mandatory days.
