Pros

Decent salary and decent benefits.

Cons

If you are looking for a picture of company politics... this is it. Senior management is unfit to run the business. Your performance, background, education, and experience are worthless unless you are liked by senior management, which in most cases means following their unethical ways. If you call out their poor practices or point out areas of improvement you get chastised and there is some serious retaliation. It is a company where talent is not appreciated because those that are on senior level positions are too insecure and afraid that new ideas and new talent will replace them. Watch out for some serious discrimination, diversity is definitively not this company's forte.

Pros

Current store manager is willing to work around life events. Kohl's is a growing company even during the recession and offers quality merchandise at affordable prices. There is an excellance in the customer service each store has the ability to offer.

Cons

Current location is very clicky with management aware of issues involving supervisors and staff that is inappropriate but choices to do nothing. An "old boys" type of network.
