  • "NOT A GOOD PLACE VERY RUDE PEOPLE YOU WORK FOR -- This is not a good place! The management lies and lies some more! Please save yourself the time and effort Please and have no shame I hope everything they did to me will come back! I heard kohls is not doing so hot so maybe they all won't have a job!!!"
  • "UNORGANIZED -- They were messing up the schedules and not holding their side of the deal with my off days and scheduled me for 6 am on a Friday when the schedule came out that same Friday at 1pm"
  • "SUCKS -- They treat your hours horribly & the managers suck don’t work here even if it’s seasonal you won’t start getting hours till mid November happened to me twice each year"
  • "TERRIBLE RUN AWAY -- This job is terrible work to hard for little money especially around holiday time it gets ridiculous there point system is a joke nobody cares about you long as your numbers good your more like a robot"
  • "WORSE -- I absolutely did not like the job at all. Too much favoritism on every level and on every shift. Started out okay, but got bad real fast. The management team talks to people any kind of way."
  • "GAVE US NO HOURS -- Was a seasonal employee and they promised 5-6 days a week on 10 hour shifts and after the first week not just me but every seasonal employee got 10 hours a week and you're not allowed to go to your car on breaks. If you're considering a position in store I wouldn't waste the time. I was in warehouse and hated it and my wife worked in store and was paid minimum wage and forced to do truck team."
  • "NOT A PLACE TO WORK FOR -- Horrible place to work hours are really bad other then during the Christmas holiday the management is really bad they are not a great company to work for"
  • "I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND -- I worked here for three years and they treated their employees like throw-away cups. No respect, no due compensation for jobs well done, etc. Several people let go over trivial matters and I personally experienced harassment and embarrassment. For example, based on my years of experience in the field, I was considered senior. However, people that I trained, were given positions over me many times. I started school and gave them a schedule, then they continued to harass me to provide the schedule, every couple months. They do not listen to their employees, nor do they provide a forum in which we could express ourselves. Also, when business was slow, they let us out early, or told us not to come in, and we did not get paid, or had to take a personal day to get paid. This happened fairly regularly."
  • "THIS WAS A TEMP POSITION -- I like what I was doing but I did not like the way we were treated."
  • "THEY HIRED 5,000 PEOPLE AND LET GO OF 4,900. THEY DO NOT KEEP MANY PEOPLE -- Its dangerous. Fork truck and pallet truck drivers coming under conveyors where the people walk. They are always moving very fast with large loads with them. A lot of dangerous places. Trip hazards, but the main one is the fork truck drivers sounding their horns but not slowing down for people. And they are everywhere."
  • "I DIDN'T LIKE IT -- Kohl's was the worst place to work, but at the time I needed the job. Once I got in, there was no management, no one told us what department we were working in since it changed almost everyday. They have you walking for hours and no supervisor is anywhere in sight. I was working in replenish and it was the worst! I actually got switched to packing and that was a lot better. My body was so sore until it didn't have time to heal before going back in the next day. The pay was okay but they loved to use people to their advantage. Someone in replen. should get more than the ones in packing."
  • "TEAM PLAYERS ARE ENCOURAGED THROUGH WORDS ONLY -- VTO was a requirement if the center did not have work. If the associates met their numbers. They reward was to go home. No job security, no employee say so or thinking outside the box. Meet your required numbers & the employee was identified by number only. Even if they made the numbers on the employee board"
  • "COOL PLACE TO WORK -- The side I was located on my managers just seemed racist to me they wanted to over work us like we was slaved we had to do work from our shift the night shift and more and when we needed help they pressured us to hurry up when they as managers suppose to be leaders should have helped out not stand around telling us we moving to slow or not to talk why you work."
  • "WORKPLACE WAS NOT FUN -- The Bosses were terrible. They lied and told me that they were planning on keeping me, but fired me off, along with multiple other individuals."
  • "KOHL'S -- Kohl's work culture was alright. Although, it is a warehouse so the job still sucks. They have small perks which make the job semi tolerable. The 2 biggest grievances about the job were they hire temp heavy, and they don't really have a lot of work. So when that happens, they send all the temps home. And as you can imagine, when the holidays or busy seasons are through, the temps are kicked to the curb. Back to square one with no job. It's not a good look."
  • "HARD LABOR AND BAD MANAGEMENT -- When I first started working there I loved it! The pay was decent and the supervisor I had was motivating. However, everything changed later. They stared expecting the impossible out of you. During the summer there was no AC, so I sweat like crazy and grew dehydrated quickly throughout my shift. I had to drink water from the water fountains more often so it slowed me down a bit. They started expecting us to put away 40 boxes an hour, which was difficult for me. I am only 5'0ft tall, and they demanded me to grab carts already filled. The carts that were already filled had some boxes that weighed more than me! So therefore, it required more time for me to put them away. So then they started becoming extremely disrespectful and pushed me to do more and more, They basically started to run their employee's like slaves."
  • "NO APPRECIATION -- No matter how hard you work or how long your there, your not appreciated. They would rather hire management from outside that have no experience in a warehouse than to promote a worker that knows all the ins and outs. There is a lot of favoritism. The only pros are you are off 3 days a week."
  • "DEFINITE NO -- This was a modern-day sweatshop. Move with "the herd" or be picked off. Worse place I ever worked. The slogan "Find Your Yes" was geared toward customers, definitely not geared toward staff. Everyone thinks they are a manager."
  • "GOOD WORKPLACE BUT MANAGEMENT IS TERRIBLE -- Good easy place to work at, alright pay, but the management is horrible, no one ever knows what’s going on or the ins and outs of a department all they care about is the numbers on a computer screen"
  • "OKAY I GUESS -- Management could have been a LOT better! We were understaffed and therefore worked to death and given ridiculous impossible deadlines for the amount of people we had. I was worked so hard to the point of an ER visit due to dehydration. I could never find the time to stop for two seconds to get a drink of water because if we stopped for the slightest second we were yelled at! Therefore I became dehydrated!"
  • "GOOD PLACE TO GET EXPERIENCE IN A LARGE E-COMMERCE OPERATION -- As a Supervisor, you'll get out of it what you put into it. The operation is HUGE - a million square feet. You'll get the experience of a super large-scale warehouse. I found it frustrating dealing with the large influx of peak-season material handlers - as most were there to simply do the least amount of work possible. You will spend much of your time as a babysitter to grown adults. Too many management levels between material handlers and building director, Very evident disconnect when implementing policies, Upper management talked a lot about driving associate satisfaction, Spent very little time on the floor with the associates to experience their actual job duties."
  • "WORKPLACE CULTURE -- Friendly co workers. Terrible management. Too many Chiefs and not enough workers. Okay pay. Fast Paced. Terrible point system. No medical leave. Very noisy, but its a warehouse so that's to be expected."
  • "NEGATIVE VIBES -- Kohl’s wasn’t a bad job, but it wasn’t a good job either. Everyone in the work environment seemed tired and didn’t want to be there and all complained about quitting so it would get negative."
