Pros

Nice atmosphere. Nice management & co workers. Very good return policy. "Okay" employee discount. I don't have to cover my tattoo. Great sales. PT employees get benefits.

Cons

Kohl's charge this, kohl's charge that! Kohl's is ALL about making a dollar..They dont give you hours unless you get a lot of "C's" (kohl's charge card apps) They make you work LONG hours & give you breaks when they want you to have them, IF you ever get them. I had my lunch break 40 mins before i was due to get off & when i got back i was told i wasn't supposed to take it without being "relieved".. after working a LONG shift, starving, with an unauthorized break, they STILL asked me to stay late. Did i mention the pay was lousy? Minimum wage. Honestly i don't think they pay me enough for my aggravation & agony. They expect WAY too much work for WAY too little money.

Pros

the benefits were good, the manager was flexible with scheduling requests. always able to pick up more shifts if you needed to. they seemed to hire other employees that were dependable and hard working so it was a pretty pleasant place to work.

Cons

it's retail and open late during the holiday season and Black Friday and the day after Xmas are mandatory days.

Pros

A positive aspect of Kohl's is the great environment they create for their employees. Management is constantly considerate and aware of their associates best interests.

Cons

Working at Kohl's does not allow you to have a very great work/life balance. The fact that your schedule is never the same and there is no real routine makes the job much more strenuous than it should be.
