Kohl's

Most of the time it is a very fast paced environment, especially during the holiday season. One will work a lot of hours during October, November, and December. However the rest of the year it will very some days are slower then others and some days go by so fast because your are busy all day long.

The culture at kohls is driven by customer service, which means that you do what you can within company limits to assist the customer as best you can. It requires that you be your best and always try to do your best. Kohls is a friendly place to work, the managers are very understanding and they ...

As good as any retail giant can. New associates are given autonomy in writing to honor discounts up to 50% if customers claim a price dispute at the register, yet they also sign another document agreeing not to give discounts above physical discount coupon percentages in store, so if a customer c...

As Kohl's intern there is plenty of work life balance. First, the hours are great; It's from 8a-5p. And Kohl's makes sure that once you leave work you don't bring any work home with you. They want you to enjoy the time you have away from work. While I was there they also had a big family picnic e...

As far as turning your internship into a full time offer the only advice I have to give would be just be yourself. If you got accepted into the program they see the potential in you. Once you get there just be curious and be a sponge. Ask questions, get to know all the ins and outs of the program...

Patience. If you've never worked retail before, it's all about patience with customers and sometimes even your employees. I know patience isn't normally something you see under "skills" on your resume, but I believe that was very important at my time at Kohl's.

As an intern, the work-life balance is very good at Kohl's! You'll be in the store 40 hours a week, sometimes the hours change as far as when you come in and when you leave, but I never worked more than 40 hours per week. As a full time manager, however, it seemed the work-life balance wasn't as ...

To receive a full time job offer from Kohl's I believe being humble and having humility would be your biggest assets during your internship. Again, I know that isn't usually what you hear, but this internship was more about creating relationships with staff and customers more than anything else. ...

As a sales associate you may not feel like you have a lot of ownership over your work, but you can. Your manager might assign you to a department to clean and help out in that night, but you decide how well you are going to clean it and how friendly you are to customers, and you can decide to go ...

As a sales associate at Kohl's you can expect to make minimum wage for your state. This can be very disheartening, but you do also get a 15% off employee discount and get to be a part of exclusive employee sales. What you save during these sales on gifts, clothes, etc. really does add up.

As a Journalism major, I have found that my most beneficial skills that my colleagues at Kohl's Corporation have appreciated have been quick thinking, being concise and precise, and being attentive to details. Within the fast nature of retail, changes to projects or ideas can come out of left fie...

Kohl's is very passionate about their internship program, meaning that for all of the projects that you are given (small or big), you will receive credit. My team at Kohl's are always quick to acknowledge that "Kim looked into this", or "Kim has been helping out with this", giving me complete own...

As men’s supervisor, I was responsible for all operations in the men’s department, ensuring that displays, endcaps, etc, commissioned by corporate were accurately recreated and maintained on a daily basis. This includes getting new merchandise from the truck out on to the floor and properly set i...

LPOs conduct theft investigations and make apprehensions. They write reports, conduct interviews, interact with law enforcement, fire employees, build organized retail criminal cases, install hidden pin-hole cameras, and testify in court. They are trained in building safety and OSHA regulations, ...

The hard work and dedication I honed through my classes as an English major are truly what helped and what the Corporation found valuable. Specifically, Kohl's appreciated that I was able to read people as easily as I'm able to read books, and they loved the fact that I was able to spark conversa...

The main experiences and qualities you should highlight involve friendliness, customer service, and ability to deal with stressful situations with calm and clarity. Customer service is a taxing position, and it is important to show that you can handle difficult customers or situations without sho...

Kohl's is run like any retail store, in which you get trained and are managed, but conversation to conversation (transaction to transaction) is your responsibility. Much like classes, there's someone there to help if needed.

Kohls is definitely a good place to start a career as a sales associate. Age and experience was not an issue at Kohls. I saw young associates get chances for promotions simply because they worked hard daily and put in the effort. The kohls I worked at emphasized the best customer experience possi...

I think the most important skill you need to be successful at Kohl's would be a leadership background. At the end of your internship you will basically be running a team and need to have a strong leadership to lead this team and coach them. You also need to be comfortable giving and receiving fee...
