Pros

Kohl's is a successful company, one of the few companies to comp last year, so you know you have job security, plus they are great about when the economy dropped, no one's job was eliminated. They use attrition, they don't fire. Great benefits, well-structured, good merchandise and products, great associate discount that you can combine with your Kohl's charge discount

Cons

Salary is not great, probably competitive but not outstanding. Serious push to get credit, all the time. Sometimes lack of communication or incorrect information from corporate. VERY TIRED OF THE MUSIC! 3 years now and playing the same songs.

Pros

Very easy to work around your school schedule, whether it's high school or college. The managers were all very fair to everyone/

Cons

The pay was horrible and once i was called back to get a raise and it went up a whole nickle!! An F'n .05 cents, who gives a crap about that, plus they never had anyone work there full time except the managers so they wouldn't have to give out benifits.

Pros

While, overall I didn't enjoy working for Kohl's, one of the pros is that there is definitely job security. Once you are in it is very hard to get fired. They are also willing to work with your schedule.

Cons

One of the biggest downsides that comes with working at Kohl's is that you are constantly being yelled at by the managers to get credit applications, they pretty much have no use for you if you don't get any credit card applications. They also understaff the store, so many times you are asked to stay past your shift.
