Pros

The people who work alongside you, ie not your "superiors" are usually pretty fun people. The discount is nice, as well as the random Associate Shop weekends.

Cons

Kohls says they offer competitive pay. What a joke. You could go to any given retail store and get a job that pays more and treats you, as an employee, much better. Even when you get a raise, it's no more than a few cents - and that's when your review goes well. Kohls is almost always understaffed and many times the closers end up staying far later than an hour past closing - sometimes it's two in the morning before they get out. This on its own is nearly unbearable, but the management is terribly unappreciative as well. Why would you want to go to work and bust your butt all day when you never feel appreciated and never receive praise for the things you do well?

Pros

It's a busy atmosphere, never boring.

Cons

Never enough payroll to get the job done properly. Higher management expects perfection, yet it's hard to do with so few people. If every associate was a "10" things could and would get done properly, however, that's not reality.
