Pros

Clean and pretty place to work. Generally good quality merchandise. Kohl's is a recognizable name in the industry. Many bargains in the ads bring customers in on a regular basis

Cons

Lack of training is a real downside of working at Kohl's. Expectations of associates are unrealistic when minimal training is provided. Good reviews completely dependent on number of credit applications accomplished per month. Customers get tired of being constantly harangued to apply for credit cards.

Pros

If you want to work retail Kohl's is a great place to start. You learn how to mark merchandise, and organize it. You also learn how to use a register proficiently, and for every Kohl's charge you open you recieve an extra dollar on your paycheck. You also get paid every week from Kohl's, which is very helpful when paying for bills and or wanting to go shopping.

Cons

A lot of people that shop at Kohl's do not respect the merchandise so they decide to leave it on the floor, steal the merchandise, or leave it in the fitting rooms on the floor. Unfortunately this can be very frustrating, especially when the fitting rooms are full with clothes not hanged or inside out. During the last two hours before closing, employees have to recover their department, this means they have to clean, fix and pick up anything misplaced or messy. This also can be very frustrating when the department is very messy.
