Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are all great people for the most part
Willing to listen to their other fellow workers
The leadership team at the store I work at is very supportive of each other. They work well together and are supportive of the employees. Of course some managers are better than others. Most are appreciative of the work the employees do.
Our store leaders do the best they can with what is given to them. They treat us nicely and understand that the workload is impossible to fulfill. We couldn't ask for better leads and managers
They are all good at their jobs
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Be more communicated, and learn how to manage. Nobody hears us and changes things on how its supposed to be
More workers more help more time
Everything!!!!!!!! Plus the fact you had to get so many people signed up for a Kohls card to get more hours and pay is bull. I got MAX 10 hours a week. Plus I was told I was hired in as a permanent part time. Only to be told I'm seasonal and had to scramble to find another job. I have a kid
Communication, and instead of Gossiping actually do their job
Stop discriminating against some of their employees.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I think I am paid okay , I enjoy the healthcare and 401k offered .
It's generous, but doesn't cover mental health care which everyone working here needs
So far I would say the 401K
Review from Sales Dept
Dental cost is exceptionally affordable.
Vacations paid and healht insurance
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The pay is less then minimum wage
Better pay, hour lunches. If Macy's and Walmart can do it and smaller companies, why can't kohls.
More money, I am making minimum wage and I work hard hours and get yelled at for making a mistake
I did multiple jobs more than what I'm even supposed to and while I am working, I have to watch other people just standing around doing nothing well management does nothing about it. They even allow people to drink on the job and do nothing about that.
I put in hard work and im shown with reduced hours. I would like it if i got my hours back and a better manager
What are some of the best things about your team?
They are human beings, also.
They are friendly and hardworking
The year round workers are like family. We all get along and back each other up in our departments. Without them I don't think workers would stick around
Respect, caring, and helpfulness are common.
They all do what is expected of them
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Need to be more accountable and ready to help.
Communication and treating people equally.
If they would do there job and help more.
Coworkers seem to be avoiding customers at all costs, and are quick to be irritated. They often leave you doing heavier work loads if you allow.. there is also a few “veteran's” who want to work in fast paced areas, as supervisors without the title. Unfortunately that leaves you feeling al
If you're training people actually train them don't pull them in 10 different directions
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
My coworker are the most positive.
The people are positive and friendly.
The people. Like I mentioned before the only thing that keeps employees here are the other employees.
Most of my co-workers are helpful & we enjoy each other's company at work.
Nothing at all. This is horrible company to work for.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Supportive field leadership. A clear real vision.
Close your doors, permanently. They are rotten to employees
I feel as if they need to get rid of all of the management that they have half of the managers are friends with the employees and allow them to get away with way too much and then a good workers have to do double the amount of work because of this
Respect well come the diversity all cultures
Get better management. When the store manager forgets something like interviews and goes home....just poor
What did you like most about the interview process?
Easy, I was able to come in and talk to a manager
It was a long time ago. Was a panel of store execs.
It was very friendly and the questions were easy to answer.
Simple and straight forward when she finaly asked me back. Waited 20 minutes after scheduled time.
It was informative and helpful.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Make sure the manager actually calls the candidates
Explain in more detail policies
If this process wirks for this company, then i have no suggestions to change it.
Taking time to not chose friends but people who actually work
Face to face needed horrible hiring
Review from Customer Support Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Getting things done, being told I did a good job
It makes me happy when I get to go home.
Getting to do a variety of positions such as Omni, Sales, and helping customers on the floor.
The people I work with
My work. Over the years and pressure I feel determine to keep my performance high with expectations for myself. My work is inspiring elevated and beautiful.
Review from Sales Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Lack of product newness or story.
Managers dont understand how it affects us daily on having no products for customers
There is no structure management does not have anything under control. They don't value the good employees that they actually have that do their job they're about numbers but yet they criticize the wrong people for not working and do nothing about the individuals that do nothing all night.
Respect employs from all culture and religion
Keep the store clean, racks straightened ect make the store shoppable
What do you like best about your company?
Flexibility with scheduling so that I can meet family obligations.
They care about the employees
They truly try to give the customers the best service.
the positive environment makes working a lot easier.
Review from Operations Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Associates need to be trusted to do the job that they were hired for and not micromanaged
insurance costs need to be lowered; I would like to see more people get promoted who actually deserve it instead of clones of the managers doing the promoting
Review from HR Dept
Need more hours so we can hire more people.
Cleanliness. Our store can get messy sometimes. Maybe more associates to help with that.
better benefits for seasonal employees. add more hours when seasonal employees first start working for kohls/
