    I hated asking customers to sign up for credit cards, that's harassing customers and should not be allowed in no retail. Low pay and not enough hours to pay rent.

      Legit the worst, my fucking supervisors kept pestering me while I'm over here getting paid min wage doing a tough job they didn't train me for. Always coming up to me, legit saying "we don't ask the customers if they want to sign up for rewards, we just get them started and tell them to put info in." Being super fake smiley and passive aggressive. They would legit float around doing nothing but harassing their employees instead of actually contributing to the workload. I quit today mid shift because I was fed up and realized that I decide what to do with my time. At first I was gonna wait till the end of my shift because it might inconvenience the customers and that's not their fault but honestly fuck Kohl's that's the fault of their shitty system which milks their employees and customers dry. Walgreen's offered me a position with better hours, better pay, and I know it's gonna be way more chill than this fake ass passive aggressive bs. Sorry for the rant lol

    I worked at Kohl's for five years...I don't know how I lasted that long. I was constantly being called to every department to do stuff whether I worked it or not, and I'd get reprimanded for my fitting room not being caught up. I was called the wrong name constantly and told that I had to answer even if they got my name wrong. Customers were extremely degrading and rude at times when I couldn't answer their questions the way they wanted me to, and the management would expect me to just keep myself together and get over it. I also had one lady use my fitting room to change her baby's diaper and left it for me to take care of. I got so much anxiety from working there and I still have nightmares about it, despite quitting seven years ago.

      The rudeness aside, i will say that most retail jobs is like this. Your training is figuring stuff out. You learn the departments, where things are located and you organize (which helps you learn the product) ..its Retail.. if you shop, you already know 99% what to do.. organize, learn the product, help the customers.
      That being said... Ive been watching anti Kohls videos because I went shopping there for the first time the other day and I wont be back HA! I honestly cant think why intelligent people think they have good value on product.. its waaaaay over priced there. Your talking wal-mart brand quality stuff for 40% or more upsale. Youd do better shopping at sears or JCPenny or even Macy's. the mens department was a mess.. product all over the place without any rhyme or reason to it..and some products that I was looking for was not even priced. No price...I dont buy.
      Anyway good luck working at Victoria's Secret.. though I heard a lot of their stores are struggling too.

    I worked for Kohl's for almost 7 years. Most of what she says is true but from my personal experience, hours were pitiful. You could be scheduled 40 hours one week, 5 hours the next. There was zero consistency. My managers were good people but played favorites. All their friends got most of the hours and they would slack off and do nothing because a manager was their buddy. You get overworked and expected to do the work of 10 people because they can't pay for the place to be properly staffed. Basically they will use you and give you hours when they need you but they can't work with you when you want to pick up a few extra hours. I'd see some of the favorites working every day for long shifts but i could barely get scheduled when i was in need of more money. I got plenty of experience though and working retail and holidays sucked. Thank God i have a job now that i love and pays me well.

    My experience at Kohls was good. It was my first job and I stayed there for a year before being offered a job at a hospital. I was trained for a week. Management was generally nice and understanding. They weren't strict for call ins or sick days. I asked to not work the register due to my anxiety and the store manager took me to the office and talked to me and basically told me it was completely fine and that it took him 5 years to be able to work a register for the same reason. All of my coworkers were very kind and helpful, there was never any drama whatsoever, we all got a $2 pay raise and plenty of hours for being part time. They never expected us to stay too late like during the holidays when we'd have alot of stuff left at the end of the night, we would work what we could with the help of management and then leave the rest on rails for the next day. Customers are a different story, i think for the most part they weren't too bad, but I do remember alot of older ladies being very rude but that's anywhere really.

The first one where I learned everything was amazing. (Started during spring) All college kids sticking together getting through a shift then maybe even hanging out after work. We all helped each other and had fun plus if we wanted more hours we made a page on Facebook where people can post to take others shifts. The next location was pure hell and didn’t have shit together. I was so upset but I followed my husband to his new station so I didn’t last long there. I was pregnant at the time and they made me cry a lot with how rude they were.

I agree you were poorly managed but, I think you're more capable and were frustrated with the situation so you didn't want to maybe try harder.

    This is my current experience with Kohls. I started back in November for seasonal, and they kept me on, and I’m putting my two weeks in on the 1st of April. One manager is so rude, specifically to me, and I have no idea what I ever did to her. She pulled me aside one day when I wasn’t getting credit and basically told me that i’m no help to the stores credit goal. That “whatever i’m doing, i need to throw that out the window because it’s obviously not working”. Didn’t help me improve, just tore me down. They’re so unorganized, and try calling you in on the days you put that you cant work on your availability . My coworker put her two weeks in and they were still scheduling her even after she gave them her letter. If you don’t get at least 3 credits a shift, they treat you like trash. I get all stores have their goal for credit cards, but these managers don’t help you with improving at all. The first of the month cannot come any sooner.

    I had my interview for a seasonal position yesterday, and didn’t get hired. They were so unprofessional at my location when I arrived at the store. Just seemed super busy and barely acknowledged my presence. They didn’t even know I had a interview scheduled. And the assistant manger didn’t even introduce himself when I met with him at first and I never met with the manager either. I had to ask who was I speaking with. I was just instructed to fill out my availability, which was part-time. I had a short 5-minute interview with the assistant manager as well. The assistant manger barely asked me questions. Told me he would speak to the manager about my availability, if she approved. I just graduated college and was looking for more retail experience ontop of what I already had. Can’t give you a reason why they didn’t hire me. I’m kind of glad I didn’t get hired, that just told me God has something better for me. Their loss.

    Worked at Kohl’s for one month. They did not train me well at all! And we’re upset when I would make a mistake but how was I suppose to know?!? I would always ask questions, and they would always look at me stupid. The managers are rude, and do not respect your schedule! I was going to school and they forced me to miss class to come in early in the morning or they would not give me anymore hours, and that was the first day! The next time they messed up my schedule and gave me hours I couldn’t work with, so I called to them, and they said I need to figure it out. So I just told them I couldn’t make it and couldn’t find anyone to cover my shifts, so I just did a no show! Then they messed up on pay check and didn’t pay me the right amount and I called a million times and they would just hang up on me. I finally just stopped showing up and every time they would call I would tell them I’m not working until they pay me $175 they owe me and hang up on them. I will never shop with them! And everyone in family doesn’t shop with them, since they treated me with such disrespect. And they are rude to most of there employees.

  • @ddub9696

    Sweetie I am so sorry this is the experience at your first job. Your first job should be (ideally) a place where you gain confidence and experience and are treated with respect. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. I kinda put Kohl's above other stores because people there seem more professional than other places, but I guess it's just as crappy as the rest of them....or maybe that's just your local Kohl's.
    In ANY case, please don't let it make you bitter because you went in with excitement and enthusiasm, which is so important--and if you keep up that sense, you will do well in another job and another company where they appreciate all that you have to contribute.

Don't work for them you'll get screwed over and treated unfairly :(

  • @hanayousufzai7793
    @hanayousufzai7793 4 роки тому

    I’ve been working since October and the only training i got was at the registers. Then they put me in kids ON MY OWN and still do to this day, while they have 3 people in home which rarely gets messy and barely have any 500s. They will also have me on the registers, BOPUS, on Amazon, customer service, and have me cover breaks. This is when they knew I didn’t have any retail experience. As for management, 02 is probably the worse. She got transferred to our store from another Kohl’s and was so arrogant and rude to everyone. She fired people even though it was the store manager’s job to do that. The only good management we have is 01, 03, 05, and 06. I was so excited when 02 was getting transferred and last minute, that transfer got cancelled and I’ve been looking at other jobs since.

    I’ve done retail and gotten that “are you a moron” look as well. The two people in charge have a meeting with us day 1 and tell us that we can ask questions and it’s better to do that than not ask and do something wrong. Day 3 I ask a legit question and that’s where the “are you a moron” looks began and what was worse is that they gave it to all of us (many of whom, like me, were first timers in the workforce).

Till last month i had just got of and i told one of the mangers bye and the ass hole didn't even respond. Like common courtesy ass hole😑. But yet they tell the employees to greet, smile and be helpful. But yet you can be an ass to me 😑🤔. That was the last time he got a goodbye from me. You're nice to me i nice to you. You don't talk to when i talk to you i won't talk to you again. The only thing you have to really worry about is customers there are some entitled douche bags.

    the kohl’s I worked at was pretty much the reason they’re still in business. They actually cared about customers and employees, they were always so patient with me. If I had to guess, you spoke with the administration on the phone, and she was probably just having a bad day for her own reasons and then the nicer ladies was one of the managers. I’d love to still work there because the store was one of the best teams to work with but Covid kinda messed it up so I moved on.
    It doesn’t help that you got hired seasonal. That’s always going to be the most stressed and frantic minded the management team is gonna be.

    Your testimony reminds me a lot of when I was a new hire at Mervyns. No training, just figure it out and act like you know the answer. Look where Mervyns is today, bankrupt and gone. The interesting thing is kohls reminds me of the former Mervyns store format layout, and everything is always on sale at kohls just like Mervyns was. The management at Mervyns just stayed in the office away from the customers "writing the schedule" and were irritated when bothered, funny how all seven of them always went to lunch together at 12 sharp.
