Pros

You can ALWAYS get hours. You might be assigned 10 hours a week but people always drop their shift so you could easily do 30+ hours if you want.

Cons

CREDIT. CREDIT. CREDIT. CREDIT. CREDIT. CREDIT. I ABSOLUTELY HATE HARASSING CUSTOMERS TO PURCHASE CREDIT CARDS. Kohl's puts so much pressure on forcing the associates to badger customers to sign up for credit cards. Ive worked at other retail stores and its NEVER been to this extent. THe managers are constantly looking over your shoulder to make sure you ask each customer THREE TIMES for a credit. After 1 month of working here I had to quit because I HATED it so much. You also only get 15 or 20 minute breaks which are not NEARLY enough since you are on your feet the whole shift. Managers only respect the employees that sell credit and treat everyone else badly.

Pros

(Mostly) amazing coworkers and flexible schedule most of the time. Good part time job for college students. Pay was decent.

Cons

Very limited full-time positions, leaves little room for career opportunities. Terrible team environment, feels like a fend for yourself fiasco everyday. I didn’t feel as if my managers or anyone at corporate really cared about any employees and it was just the employees caring for each other. Training times were wildly short, usually only a short shift or two on each area to train (registers, floor, bopus, etc). Corporate is difficult to get in touch with even for customers and they WILL take it out on you and management at any level does not seem to care.
