Pros

Kohl's is a good place to work because of our people. I have had the opportunity to learn several management styles and how day to day business is conducted. They provide a good opportunity for learning both hard line and soft line business processes because they allow you to cross train in several areas of the store.

Cons

There is a complete lack of communication from upper management within my store. I have had to re-work countless projects several times because upper management either gave me no guidance or changed their mind after. In my opinion waisting valuable time. Management within my store also has a complete lack of respect for several employees. I have witnesses on more than one instance upper management screaming at the top of their lungs to fellow employees.

Pros

I get first dibs on the clearance items. I love the towels and great face cream. I also like when people allow their children to play in the toy area, while Mom is trying on a new pair of shoes. Dirty bird.

Cons

I have no life during the holiday season. Long hours require exerting every last bit of energy possible. Babysitting incompetent employees is a requirement to keep this job. I also love the people who wonder why there are long lines during sales, and have a special pass to move to the front. This is not Disney world. If you wake up to get a good deal, than the money you are saving is obviously worth waiting for. Do not ask me for a coupon.

Pros

The best reasons to work at Kohl's are the people. The comrodery building and relationships are the best to me. There are a lot of good hearted people that work with me. There are too, some people that you would rather not work with all. But overall, I like the fact that I can have health benefits through this great company. Advancement seems limited, but I think it's fair.

Cons

The downside to working there is being so overworked and under paid. The work is not hard, it's just a lot to do in so little time with no motivation to give it your absolute best because of the lack in financial compensation.
