Pros

Standard 15% employee discount on anything in the store. Friends and Family discount 4 times a year, 2 20% coupons plus additional 15% employee discount. 35% of anything 4 times a year for "employee appreciation weeks". Some of the management is very kind and respectful and seem to actually care about you as a person. They cater food for the employees a few times a year too. Weekly pay on Fridays. Some fun employees, shifts can be enjoyable.

Cons

Several of the managers are very rude and treat you like just another number in the system. Management pushes incredibly hard for credit numbers and how they treat you is how well you perform. The pay is okay however you don't get raises. The only raise you can get is if you stay for a year, you earn a $0.10 increase in your hourly pay which is laughably low. Several of the employees hate their job and they take it out on you if you don't know what you're doing.

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.
