Pros

1) The people are friendly. 2) The pay is decent. 3) The associate discount is nice. 4) You get recognized on your birthday (cake, cupcakes, etc) 5) Those who want to rise in the workplace have many opportunities to do so. 6) They have a nice rewards system. 7) The managers really care about how the associate is doing and tries to help them improve so that they can do better at their job and keep working at Kohl's. They are understanding and usually don't bite no matter what. 8) They offer benefits for part-time employees that are there for three months as well as full-time (it's a smaller package, but I don't know of any other retail store that offers benefits to part-time associates!)

Cons

1) It's retail. The hours can be sucky. 2) Sometimes they don't always hire the best managers-- most of the managers at my store are good but there is one that doesn't really know what he's doing. Not much else I can think of. They've got one of the best set of policies for employees I can think of-- if you want to work retail I think Kohl's is the best place there is.

Pros

I really like the people I work with. Very friendly and helpful environment. Management frequently engages associates on a daily basis.

Cons

Very slim payroll. Often one person will be working in multiple areas of the store. A lot of time floor associates work they will spend as an additional cashier.

Pros

good company discounts (on top of sales prices), given lots of responsibility, good location (easy to get to and free parking), great people to work with, freedom to get the job done on my schedule

Cons

very lean staff, do not keep up quick enough with computer hardware, bandwidth, storage space, etc. to accomodate continued company growth
