Vantaggi

Salary was adequate to lure me away from another position.

Svantaggi

Where to start with this company. Lacking in direction and leadership. This place is going down hill in light of the current economy. Very unrealistic/ unobtainable expectations. Not enough staff and will not hire or provide hours to get the jobs done. In my area Kohl's will not even compensate the needed sales associates, cashiers etc. adequately so all the staff leaves for the nearby stores that pay at least $1+ more an hour. Even after they reviewed this and found the huge gap in pay from the competition refused to make any adjustments. So this makes it difficult to obtain and maintain assoc. Upper management constantly changing and implementing new policies for anything and everything. Seems that the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. Constant e-mails, confrence calls and requests for info(to be written as a report/plan ) to five different disciplines wanting the same info. Such a time waster sitting on a cc listening to the regional vp blab about some policy/thought they will be changing in several days. In the meantime there is not enough staff and ads need to be set, there are not enough cashiers and a whole hoard of customers wanting to be checked out, clothes thrown all over the store and more things occuring than staff in the store to even physically handle. In the meantime when I try to pin down my general manager with a concrete idea of how to get their next unrealistic expectation done. The only great pearl of wisdom he can ever come up with is "whatever it takes to get the job done". Good grief! This sounds like a complete vent at this point and it is I'm so physically exhausted at this point, I'm working 16 hours a day often 6 days a week. This job is not worth it! Needless to say I'm looking for another job, I will gladly accept less pay at the next job if that is what it takes just to get out of this place!

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
