Kohl's reviews

Kohl's runs a tight ship...which is why they are so successful. Hard work pays off, though.

Hourly employees get a job title when hired, but it doesn't mean much. Kohl's believes in 'cross-training" very strongly; ie employees will get experience in every area but are always acutely aware of how expendable they are. This would would be good except for the fact that a part-timer who works ad set, truck, merchandising, and just about every dept as an associate can't be expected to know exactly where some particular tank top in the @#@#% customer's magazine is on the second day in three months they work juniors. Hiring is constant, as the goal is for employees to get no more than 15 hrs/wk. Schedules are computer generated and all over the place to prevent other employment and attempts to narrow availabilty= fewer hours. Thus, after a few months your good employees say screw it, I can get a job that is less frustrating/ gives me more hours and you are left constantly hiring people who mostly quit after a couple weeks.
