Stay away! If you complain or call in sick they give you less hours.
Decent part time job. Good for young people in school or transitioning, as long as you don't mind working in a very unorganized store. Generally friendly coworkers and management. Awful experience. The Niles Kohls was anything but wonderful to work for. The employees were great, but managment at the time, in was awful.
Jobs were threatened and hours were cut if credit applications weren't made. Pretty bad. As a disclaimer, many of my co-workers were wonderful people, and I probably would have got along with them in any other environment. That being said, the "Kohls is like one big family" sentiment was not my experience. I was hired as a seasonal employee right before Black Friday and was eventually asked to continue my employment after the holidays. As a seasonal associate, the permanent employees who were told to "train" me did so with general resentment.
I was thrown into the position ill-prepared, and therefore became a further annoyance when I consistently had to ask for help. The coupon policies are lengthy and my mistakes earned me a lecture with my manager where she told me "I could fire you for that" in front of customers and my fellow, similarly confused co-workers. The managers on duty defined the mood of the workers, as well as the policies. Different managers would allow different rules to be broken which led to further confusion of associates and customers , and resulted in employees getting in trouble for things that were 1 not their fault, and 2 completely unimportant.
Overall, the management attitude was condescending and saccharine. The associates were consistently pressured to solicit credit and "deliver greatness" which still makes me cringe. During this time, I got a second job and started missing my Kohl's shifts as my priorities rearranged. I missed nearly a week of shifts and put in my two weeks notice. It's a wonderful relief to never have to go back. Not very fun or nice to work at Kohl's.
My experience with Kohls was not that great. They threw us into training, I wouldn't even call it that, by putting us at a cash register and making us figure it out. There's so much wrong with how Kohl's is managed. Productive and friendly job. I learned time management. It was a very fast past job. We were able to listen to music as we worked. The hardest part was cleaning up after the shift that worked before we came in. Fun work environment. Enjoyed working here. Staff and management were friendly and there were always fun activities for staff appreciation.
Review this company. Claimed Profile Review this company. Thanks for stopping by! Most people who have worked in retail will tell you this. And if it was offered, it was probably because 1. The associate was a poorly trained new hire or 2. However, the initial payment must be done at least half by a kohls charge. I mean of course other associates are welcome to do as they please. I just feel as though it can cause problems for both parties if the proper policies are not implemented correctly.
And also those coupons clearly say u must use your kohls charge. But its easy to pay half of your purchase than ask to make a payment. I happen to be looking at one right now. They always give you an amount to pay that will assure that you will not be charged interest on your balance. I always take advantage of this now.
Love this concept. No interest charges and the bill is paid off faster. Thanks for the pointer! The rule of the Charge Card at kohls is that the costumer must pay at least half of the amount on the kohls credit card and the rest can be paid how ever you like e. Kohls already offer plenty of discount that are stacklabke and I believe costumer do tend to look for a slip between the gap to get away from paying with the card.
All POS registers were updated June to prevent unapproved markdowns and split payment of charge cards, etc. Thanks for the update! American express, visa, etc have a fee that all business must pay, a certain percentage at every transaction, which can add up. By signing up for the corporations cards yes it takes 5 min out of your day, but it Benifits both parties. However if you are a card member and there is coupons that came out and you do not have them with you, Khols can still give you a discount via direct percentage coupon or scratch off.
The only reason you were able to receive discounts and cheat the system is because you were dishonest and took advantage of Khols associates. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, People with good credit get better prices than people that do not qualify for credit? Tempting people to spend more money than they currently have in their pocket by forcing them to use credit? Consumer beware. Um…yeah, I actually wrote a blog post about it:. I do want to apologize for the comment regarding teenagers running the registers. There are teens that are extremely hard workers that do their very best.
I should not have made that statement. You mean those coupons that flood my mailbox with the not-so-random percentage? Would you consider giving me a discount? They always have the option to say No….

When you get a little older, and have a family to support, you may become a little more selfish with your money, and not feel bad for making it more difficult for retailers to pry it from my hands. Think about that the first time you sit down to do your monthly budget and wish you had a few extra numbers in your checking account. If there is, please share.
It must all go on your Kohls credit card now. Sorry to anyone who this affects. Someone else mentioned this as well, Shelley…. I started out on the registers like most part-time associates, moved to customer service, and am now handling the stores cash office. So earlier in , they sent Kohls a policy change requesting while heavily implying requirement to us that any charge to the Kohls Card for the sake of a discount would require the full amount to be placed on the card.
Like most Credit Companies, they want money flowing through their channels not only to boost their immediate fiscal values, but also the ensnarement of habitual credit card debt from buyers especially heavy impulse buyers. And as was said earlier in one of the comments, kohls registers have an open ended system that allows for practically any modification. Anyway, it was a rather unpopular policy to require the full amount on the kohls card, especially since it had been done the other way for so long.
October 7, at The associates were consistently pressured to solicit credit and "deliver greatness" which still makes me cringe. Our community is ready to answer. Unfortunately, our registers have no filter and let us put payments through with normal giftcards. Sort by: Tempting people to spend more money than they currently have in their pocket by forcing them to use credit?
So, in effect, the policy although still maitained by Kohls Corporate, some managers and a few associates mostly fell by the wayside for the bulk of the associates when actually practiced at the register. Personally, as i see it, if someone wants to buy merchandise from us, the customer gets there item, and kohls gets its money. I find a little common sense in retail goes a long way. However, that might not be true for long…. When we step behind that counter, we care more about your welfare than our companies welfare.
Because we are you. Sorry for the sidetrack; anyway, so Travis, the system that kohls uses right now for their registers is a blend of an older version of Windows XP and DOS. Kohls made the the decision that by the first of the year , they would be switching out the old system for an updated windows 8 hybrid. This seems to not only be due to the closed source in windows 8 systems, but also stricter coding in part from kohls corporate.
I think kohls will still allow for a certain amount of flexibility, but since we are coming up on a new year, I believe Kohls has made it their New Years Resolution to revise their entire system one reason why I might not be there come New Years Eve. As for now, were pretty much pushovers. Kinda Sad. Also, one last thing. It is a tough one to be in, and the stress can be unbearable. Especially around the holidays when you have a family to care for. Especially when it comes to modeling as an adult. Especially if we get taught how to keep our nose clean by adults like you.
So thank you, and please try harder to mentor the next generation. I did let it fly a little at the end, but I stand behind the spirit of what I was trying to say. If I have to choose between living within how the system was intended to work, or making a cashier comfortable vs. Kohls issues Kohls cash during periods of great sales for use during bogo sales.
You earn it for spending during these sales and return to spend it during periods of higher prices. The idea behind this and special discounts for credit card holders is to get you into the store. WIth this in mind Pay the portion of you purchase total with cash first then apply remainder to card regardless of amount, I feel certain you will achieve goal of obtaining discount and they will allow you to charge less than half.
If in doubt just mention that you would be a highly satisfied customer and will fill out survey to reflect this. I like the idea of paying cash first…AND offering to take a survey. Will it work? Try it out and let us know! This is dishonest and a form of stealing.
Both times, while watching the monitor not the one the cashier uses I noticed something on the screen about the option to have my receipt emailed to me. Are the cashiers trained to know what shows up on each monitor? FYI, the item I purchased was more than the the item I returned. One last thing. I was using the Kohls charge card website to make all my payments, usually paying the balance in full.
About a year ago I received a letter from a company that had audited Kohls financial system. If you do an even exchange your kohls cash will not be effected.
If you call the credit center the number is on the back of your card and explain the situation they can waive the late fee for you. This is actually incorrect. As mentioned, it may be against policy…but many cashiers at least at the time this article was written would let customers do it….
This is actually not true. I work customer service at kohls and have been there for a long time. When you use those coupons for using your kohls charge, you are actually supposed to put all of the total purchase on the card. Unless the card maxes out and cannot hold the entire total. Only then can you pay with another tender. The way you handle the various situations seems on par with my experience at Kohls…thanks for sharing! This guy seems to be really cheap and expect businesses to bend over backwards for him.
TWO its the same amount of money no matter how you slice it up. FOUR if you pay off a balance there is no interest anyway. I mean you would have to have absolutely zero self control to NEED to do all this. One of two bad scenarios could come out of this:.
Next month the same thing happens. And the month after that. You can call it stupid. You can say a person would have to have zero self control to end up in a bind. But as someone that ended up with over K in credit card debt I can tell you that both of the above scenarios are REAL…. The registers are NOT run by high school students.
