Pros

Kohls offers good dental insurance. I have made some good friends while working there. I have gotten consistent raises during the reviews.

Cons

There is no job advancement. Management can be incompentent and ineffective. Credit is everything, it is constantly pushed. Store is constantly understaffed. Limited traning, expected to know everything on the frist day in job.

Pros

Pay is fair for hours worked. Vacation fair for time worked. Decent, diverse, hard working people trying to make ends meet in a difficult work environment.

Cons

Scheduling is awful, no consistency. Very difficult to plan personal time in advance. Guidelines available but often ignored. Customers are equivalent to Kmart shoppers though the stores are more department store oriented. Competency often ignored in place of likeability when determining management placement. Recognition almost nno-existent for pure work performance.
