      More cons than you think

      Pros

      It's a paying job, love my co-workers, sometimes rewarding especially with customers

      Cons

      Poor hours (4-20 hours Part Time). Always pushing for a Kohl's credit card. Managers are insensitive and rude; unwilling to hear you out. Always understaffed and disorganized. Managers expect you to do 2-4 jobs every shift. For the past few weeks, I have only worked two days of the week.

      Kohl's - An excellent part time job if you don't have much in the way of bills.

      Pros

      The one thing I truly enjoy about working at Kohl's is some of the awesome people I work with. What you have to keep in mind is that it is retail so there are going to be challenges. If you enjoy working with people this may be a job for you. Scheduling is flexible for part time associates. This is an excellent job for someone who is in school that may be living at home without a lot of bills to pay. The Associate discount is fair, it was just raised to 15% on everything and there are special days every few months where it is doubled to 30% When i first started working at Kohl's I was very surprised that the discount even applies to clearance items.

      Cons

      There are several major downsides to working at Kohl's. The pay is really very low, even by retail standards. I make hardly over minimum wage and the periodic raises seem like they will barely even keep up with the raise in minimum wage. The other downside is that if you are part time do not expect to see many hours on your schedule. Advancement opportunities are possible but unfortunately someone has to leave or be promoted in order for anything to open up.

      A decent place to work

      Pros

      Employee discounts are definitely the best perk of working at Kohls, Inc. I worked for Kohls for 3 years, and enjoyed the discounts and knowing the sales beforehand. Kohl's offers many benefits and new training programs for associates. Kohls also demostrates good management within the company and within the stores. Store associates get along and all discuss problems that they might have without having to hide it from each other. Kohls is a good place to be if you like working with people.

      Cons

      Management is rude and condescending. If you missed your credit goal, you would be berated infront of fellow employees. In case they are unaware, we are in a credit crisis, and most people do NOT want to be spending money.
