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

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
