Pros

KOHL'S is one of the few retailers that are doing well considering the current economy. Lower prices on name brand merchandise and much more. Electronic Signing which diplaces prices of merchandise on each merchaandise fixture is one of many examples of how KOHL'S is staying ahead of the competition in regards to the future.

Cons

Most associates are part time with the exception of hourly department supervisors. Certain departments like toys, fashion accessories, and housewares are often neglected due to priority of departments.

Pros

Kohl's is a great place to work because they truly put the customer first which in turn helps the employee understand how to handle the many customer service issues thrown our way. It is always a "Yes we can!" attitude and I really like that. Also, it is a fun way for me to practice my merchandising skills.

Cons

I hate to complain about the wages, but even after being their for about 5 years and being full time I am not really making a livable wage. It is a shame, because I really do enjoy working for Kohl's but it is hard not to keep your options open to new opportunities. Kohl's of course is a retail store, and with retail comes the mundane tasks of cleaning fitting rooms and dealing with not so pleasant customers, this is a given at any store.
