I hope I can make it through another season.

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.

Recession proof?

Pros

Kohl's is a growing company, even during these hard economic times. The company believes they are recession proof, and I hope they are right. Also, because the company is so large, there are a lot of opportunities for your career to grow. I started as a shoe associate while I was completing my education. Management recognized my talents and moved me into the beauty department, where I was trained in cosmetic consulting. Now, I'm starting as a assistant store manager.

Cons

Long hours and really late nights when closing the store. During the holiday season the store closes at midnight and the employees are often there until 4 a.m. recovering the store. Poor training on all levels from sales associates to management.
