after three years
It's retail, it's not always easy.
Depends on if you're asking for PTO or just if they allow days off in general. PTO is really only offered for full time positions. Seasoned part time people who've worked for the company a while, were offered PTO but they've cut the availability for most part time and seasonal positions. They also only allow time off for certain times in the year.
Is it possible to switch teams at Kohl's? If so, what is the process?
Yes, I can only answer for Corporate. You can apply for an internal position on another team, but you have to discuss it with your manager to ensure your skills are relevant to the position you are looking at. If you're desperate to move to another team, say what you have to say to get the manager to support you because there are some managers who will be petty and find things to prevent you from applying for another position on a different team.
Any switch in teams will be handled by the on site management team
