Pros

they are fairly flexible on scheduling. some people get to work in areas they enjoy.

Cons

promotions are outsourced to friends, who start out at higher salaries and are rude and hateful to existing associates.

Pros

Discount, Good quality associates you work with, Develop friendships that will last

Cons

Management, Communication, Lack of Advancement. As I have posted before, I left this job as a full time area supervisor for a job related to my degree. I told them I would stay on to help them when I was able. Recently received a letter about termination since I hadn't worked for 60 days. I spoke with the Admin and told her to just term me. She then offered me a shift of 2 hours to keep my discount. Why in the world would I want to do that with all of the discounts that Kohls offers to Charge Holders. From the other reviews you can see that there is a lot of back stabbing and talk amongst managers. I wish that I would have just stayed a part time employee and not got involved in management. When the managers plot against each other and pt employees receive 4 to 8 hours a week it is a wonder that anyone stays as long as they do. The poor wages alone boggled my mind. There is little room for advancement unless you and your store can hit or exceed credit statistics. Stay away!!! If you are use to retail go elsewhere b/c truly Kohl's is a place where you shouldn't expect great things.

Pros

Good work environment. The managers at my store were very helpful and cheerful.

Cons

I would consider this job as a job to get some side money and that is all. I don't think this would give me any valuable work experience other than having something to put on your resume if you don't have any work experience.
