      Kohl's in general

      Pros

      Great with giving time off when needed. I am a college student and 75% of their employees are students. I believe they know that college students want to go home for holidays and give them the time off for it.

      Cons

      Pay is minimum wage. Since I am a student, this is just extra cash in my pocket so I would not want to rely on this income for a living. Management does not give clear direction in what you should be doing. For one year, I clocked in and did things that I "thought" should be done. I had no supervisor giving me higher priorities. I am excellent working without a supervisor, but when you work part time you are not up to date on the day to day activities to prioritize your duties.

      Ridiculous

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They are generally good about scheduling you within your time availibility, but then again, that should be common sense.

      Cons

      expect way too much from employees scheduled for 4 hour shifts. Never enough sales people on the floor. Sometimes 1 person will be covering 2 or 3 departments. Absolutely not incentives to perform better, no positive feedback from managers. Vacation time must be approved by management, and it rarely is around holidays when an associate would LIKE to take their vacation time. It is almost impossible to complete your department's recovery as you are constantly being called up to the registers or phone calls or other departments.
