Pros

Low stress, very lackadaisical environment, management does bother you if you only do the bare minimum.

Cons

Food is often used in lieu of financial compensation. Very conservative, mid-western environment. If you bid your time no matter what type of a job you do, you will be promoted. But if you are hard working....you generally still have to wait for a promotion. Low wages, management gets away with murder, when they come to work.

Pros

managers can be friendly at times

Cons

Little to no training been working here for almost a year now there’s still something I don’t know every day. What was most difficult for me was being at registers as I was trained in two days by shadowing someone. There are so many situations and problems that will come up every day and you will learn something new! They never taught me about Kohl’s cash, how to read receipts, reprint or edit receipts. They schedule so little so when you do learn something there’s no chance of rehearsal because you come in three weeks later working at a different department.
