- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?Kohl's has to consider increasing the salary for all employees. We are, unfortunately, receiving low income in an escalating economy with more outcome than income.
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?Kohl's should consider more frequent raises and/or a better salary. I work with associates who work really hard , are extremely dedicated to Kohl's, and deserve more than an occasional 'pizza party.
