That said, I think it's a good job to build experience at, especially if it's your first job. I wouldn't make this a career. For me there has been no opportunity to get ahead."
What don't you like about working at Kohl's?
"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."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I would be involved more with my employees. I would definitely learn how to work every aspect of the store so in a crunch I can keep the company moving. I would show appreciation to all my employees who deserve it. I would work to be fair and honest."

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