Pros

The salary is good compared to other retail management positions. Recieve a comp week of vacation for working during the holiday season.

Cons

No work life balance Managers expected to work on days off and 10+ hours days This is not a good job to have if you have children Management only focused on meeting sales goals, not the associates well being Management (Store Manager and District Manager) put too much pressure on Assistant Store Managers without giving proper feedback, training and Guidance The MIT program is NOT efficient enought time (3 months) to prepare someone to become an Assistant Store Manager

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.
