"The pay raise is terrible if you do work hard, regardless of the amounts of credit cards you acquire. The managers are unhelpful when it comes to the jewelry department. If I have a question for them about anything jewelry related I have to call my supervisor at home! She should be allowed to have some time off, but who else am I going to call if none of the managers at my store can care enough to come help me? I think I work very hard for Kohl's, but there is little to no appreciation for it, and it makes me question why I work hard at all."

"Good morale and supervisors, and good workers."

"I enjoyed working at Kohl's, overall."
