Pros

- You are able to deal with customers and have an impact upon the overall operations of your specific store

Cons

- You are at times stressed to try and fulfill duties. Often there are issues you are not allowed to resolve but no managers present.

Pros

The pay is good. If your store performs well the previous year, you get a nice % increase. The benefits are okay. They did just increase the level they'll match on your 401K and change the time it takes to be vested. Now you are vested right away. The Kohl's Perks are nice, but don't get a lot of attention by the company. Associate Shop Days with the double discount is a very nice money saver especially when combined with a pick-a-day coupon.

Cons

Everything else. You work a minimum of 45 hours a week, and that is if you are lucky. Closes are late most nights. Company is very tight with payroll, so you're normally staffed pretty light most nights. With only 3 assistant managers its hard to switch days if something comes up. The push for credit is unrelenting. The company can release planograms but then a district manager can come in and decided they don't like it, so you have to change it. Communication between departments on the corporate level is not always the best, so sometimes the stores will get two different messages from two different levels of the corporate office.

Pros

Kohl's takes care of its employees. We are well compensated for the unsual hours retail has. There is lots of opportunities to make a career.

Cons

Kohl's is a retailer so there are unsual hours. This may mean having to work on Christmas and other holidays.
