Pros

I can't think of anything

Cons

Working at this location was not a great experience. The store is such a mess all the time especially with the go backs. Nobody on the floor during the day is required to do go backs so that keeps the register area looking messy and cluttered. The management doesn't seem very helpful & when I asked questions I was met with attitudes. It didn't feel like a team and managers only talked to the people they liked. Being new it didn't feel welcoming or like I was appreciated. I wasn't even introduced to every manager and just figured it out as I went. The store doesn't have any organization in place for anything and management doesn't care. I was so stressed by working in such a messy environment and being scared to ask a question due to the attitude and sarcastic tone I received. There are so many teenagers working there and not enough discipline. So little is expected of them while the older workers are doing all the work. The managers don't back you up when it comes to angry customers. This store needs guidance and real management.

Pros

- A supportive group of people; true to the Midwest nice and hospitality expectations. - Better work-life balance for hourly employees

Cons

- Not being included in mentoring programs = harder to "climb up" - Favoritism and cliquey; I mean, it's the Midwest, and it's so cliquey here that it doesn't matter what you know, it's WHO you know - Outdated systems: bridging issues at Kohl's is constant and quite embarrassing. It delays the whole operation and supply chain when data is not being transferred from one system to another. Every day is a battle between submitting tickets and going back and forth with external partners, trying to explain that the system just sucks and it's literally above our pay grade. - Weird internal movement/development guidelines; they would likely hire someone off the streets rather than support internal employees, which is weird because wouldn't it make more sense to hire someone already familiar with the systems than someone completely new? And why does one need the current manager's approval to move on to another department? What if you're not one of your boss's favorites, but you are a great asset? Does that mean they have to sit there suppressing their talents due to someone's opinion? It's no wonder that people are leaving Kohl's, and the only people who are staying behind are the ones who are still nostalgic for what Kohl's used to be.
