Kohl's reviews

Management is mediocre at best, and communication amongst the members of management, as well as communication between associates and management is unheard of. Management is full of empty promises that are never fufilled, and while there is plenty of room for advancement within each store, more often than not the promotions go to the most underqualified member of the team. While the jobs are simple and straightforward, training is overlooked. Employees are expected to follow "Kohl's Best Practices", but those rules and regulations are NEVER conveyed. Don't hold your breath if you desire praise or positive feedback for accomplishments or a job well-done. Good work is never rewarded. On the flip side, breaking the rules is never punished. You could kill someone and still keep your job. This is a lower-level retail job, so the types of people you get to work with are varied. The management is generally uneducated, and have limited job experience. While the company provides tuition reimbursement, management frowns upon anyone trying to further their education while they are employeed at the company (ironic?). Activites outside of work that might restrict your schedule--including family, school, or another job--are also frowned upon. This company is clueless about the meaning of work-life balance.

If you are looking to get into Kohls Corporate in the IS department....Good luck unless you have a lot of experience and have high level skills. The IT/IS dept is a two tier dept. Those on the top (Kohls employees), and those on the bottom, which are the consultants (temps). They do most of their dirty work with consultants, that have little to no chance to get hired on the Kohls payroll. They also show no signs providing the opportunity to train any IT/IS consultants from the bottom to get to the top. The chairs that you have to sit in all day are like ten years out of date. Comfort is key when you have to sit there all day long.
