      Constant cutbacks

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Every year resources are cut back to make up for the constant loss of sales in the company. Headcount is reduced every year, management team is reduced, payroll is reduced, expectations however always increase. This is standard operating procedures for most businesses, but Kohl's constantly tries to compare themselves to Macy's, Nordstrom etc instead of accepting their reputation comparable to Ross... Kohl's is Ross more than it's Macy's, stop denying it and expecting world class service for an average $$ per unit of $6. Insane delusional leadership...

      Cons

      Too many to list here.. see above

      getting worse on a daily basis

      Computer engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      pro - most of my co-workers are good, talented people. also, the compensation and benefits are acceptable.

      Cons

      Management seems to be more interested in having the employees document each and every little thing they do instead of actually getting real work done. (can you say micro-management ?? ....especially bad in IT ) Perhaps I should make a commercial for JCPenny and Macy's. Headline - Kohl's employee shops at JcPenny and Macy's because she can't stand the stupidity at Kohl's. That's right Kohl's, you get no more of my money.

      Management cannot be trusted

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Location, profitability of company and employee Discount

      Cons

      Environment is highly Political. Bad managers are hired consistently. Managers cannot be trusted and have low moral compass. Emphasis is on quantity NOT quality. Systems have no documentation and are built without my Quality assurance or testing. IT is run by incompetent managers at all levels. Employees are under undo stress. Know 10+ people who have left there because of Manager's not keeping their promised and back-stabbing personalities
