Pros

-The management team and staff gets to really know you. You feel as you're part of the team immediately and it feels great as a first retail job. -The hours pass by very quickly. - The pay is reasonable for high school students/ college students as a temporary job (if working part time).

Cons

- The hours, the hours, the hours. If there's a slight change in schedule, your request could be denied, leaving you with no choice but to continue working or have to leave. - Hours are very unstable. Could be scheduled to work for 3 days with very limited hours and the following week would be every day. Hard to get around and used to when there are primary concerns. - There was barely any training and thrown right onto the field. It isn't bad if you're a quick learner, but for those who aren't, it can be challenging. - Customers > Employees

Pros

Great focus on people and reducing shortage through theft resolution. Great bonus potential. Consistent budgets for loss prevention, putting people in stores vs. tech in stores.

Cons

Low levels of technology. Averag salary lower than other big box competitors. Outdated best practices, company needs to invest in six sigma.

Pros

You can combine your coupons along with your associate discount. Its 15% to start but you're best bet is to sign up for email and a kohls charge to get the maximum coupons. Friendly co-workers Flexible

Cons

No communication whatsoever between managers & employees. Everybody was doing something different. ANNOYING customers get everything they want Awful managers PAY IS TERRIBLE!! I worked there for a year & a half - made practically nothing Compared to other retail stores who started out employees TWO dollars more!
