Torture, absolutely awful!!

Pros

Honestly, the only Pro is the discount, especially, being able to stack coupons during associate shop sales.

Cons

Management is the worst. Employees were also told they couldn't call out and expect to use their personal days. They cut payroll every chance they got. Then, expected the few full time employees to pick up the slack. Management would pretend to empathize and say things would get better. But they never did. Fitting rooms are a nightmare. The pay is ridiculous. Employees working there were so unhappy and miserable. There were confidential things that should never have been discussed openly with other employees. Corporate redirects all complaints to the store manager; where they never get addressed. No action is ever taken.

Pros

In the 2 years I have worked for Kohl's, I have found that I have an awesome management team. They are very knowledgeable when it comes to merchandise and best practice. Breaks and meal breaks are kept pretty well to schedule. I love working with my fellow associates and they are always friendly and happy to talk to me.

Cons

A downside to working here is if you are just a regular associate, pay isn't very high. You only get a yearly bonus. Another thing I don't care much for is that at my store we are understaffed so I can never truly get into my department and get projects done on time because we don't have enough people to recover the store. So I am always having to help out in other departments.
