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.
EXACTLY 😭😭😭😭😭‼️
FR, i also hate when i have to make customers sign up for credit cards like bruuuh cmon
I feel like im scamming people... And we have to apply the discount and show them and then take it off when they say no like that's so rude!!!
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
That "please don't scream at me I'll cry" bit was definitely me when I worked retail...
You're too sensitive for retail.
@@perfectfae3534 I definitely am too sensitive for retail :( I take everything too personally and I feel like crap about myself because of it
I work there and my process was a lot faster and seemingly more put together. My orientation was with one other girl and they handed us our schedules for the next two weeks that day. The managers at our store are super nice and helpful, sucks to see that not all stores are like that because I love my job 😕
Kenzie Wol same here! I love working at Kohls. I guess it depends on the managers.
what is your position at kohls ? I applied as a credit card associate and I wanted to know the to expect working there :)
Makes me feel a little better
Tori Straughn how did it go? I have an interview tomorrow!
Same here! I’m guessing it just depends on the manager because my manager is very nice and understanding. I love my job too!
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.
Sorry for the rant...lol
Casey Baron so sorry that happened to you. You deserve better .
I hope everything worked out for you :-)
Kohls sucks. I worked there for 4 miserable years. The customers were degrading and the management wasn't much better. I can't believe it's the same expereince at most stores.
I was called Helen for the entire time I worked there. Yeah.. I'm not Helen. lol! I feel you, Kohls was the worst place I ever worked, I have anxiety just driving past the store still.
I would of politely told the customer that she has to dispose of it and there is a trash can in the ladies room. You don’t get paid to deal with dirty diapers. You aren’t working in a day care😱👶🤣
#welcometoretailPTSD
Girl I can relate to this on a personal level. I am a current employee at Kohl's and am quitting Friday without a 2 week notice. They treat employees horribly and I've been a manager in retail and have worked for different stores/corporations. Such an awful experience...
+Julia Ferrier Thank you for sharing! It's good to know I'm not the only one. I'm sorry that is happening to you though. I'm working for Victoria's Secret now and I absolutely love it. It's like a breath of fresh air.
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.
Julia Ferrier I have a interview next week I really want to like it. But everyone has had experiences like yours who have worked there ...:(
Julia Ferrier yep
Working at Kohl's now as POS /customer service. Actually it's a good experience, we're just really understaffed. The people really make the job great or shitty.
Tbh when u want to work in retail, u most definitely will work during the holidays that's a given. No matter what your availability is they won't give it to you off unless the company itself is closed for that holiday. That's just the way it is. Good thing u found something instead. 👍🏻
+Ashley Nicole Honestly I would've been okay with working Thanksgiving if they would've told me sooner and hadn't treated me so poorly. Honestly it was just an all around awful job. I'm working at Victoria's Secret now and I love it! It all depends on management and the way they treat employees, in my opinion.
I have worked for half a dozen retailers. I enjoyed working for all but Stevens, (only because it was so ugly). Kohls I hated because they treat you like a child and potential enemy. A nightmare.
God I hated kohls. They don't train you at all
i just thought it was my store 😭
Lilli Tanguay I thought it was just my store wow it’s universal
Journey Girl i literally worked there for a month tops before i quit that shit 😹
Lilli Tanguay they hired me back in August, so I was released the other day, but I went to the lady that was over scheduling and asked if I was permanent or seasonal because no one had said anything, so Beth said, “oh if you were hired back in August you’re permanent “, I’m like ok cool, then I came in one day and my sup. over my Dept. said “ I’ve got good news, you’re permanent” so I was told by two different sources that I was permanent, it was all a hoax they let me go and two people that I had helped get hired there...citing that we were only seasonal employees...I hated everything about working there, especially because I had transitioned from Carson’s, because they were closing I had such a wonderful 2yr experience there, and came away from there with lifelong friendships, the people at Kohl’s were rude, cold and just plain nasty towards me...I’ll never step another foot in that place.
I used to work for Kohls. They only train people who kiss their @$$.
This is how it is at most Kohl's. Good store management and professionalism in a Kohl's store is very rare. I know from experience. I am glad you found something else.
Maryann Leydig what is the age limit
@Lily 101 Oh yeah 100% agreed and same
@Penny58 this!! I worked there for a year and the floor was *always* overstocked and understaffed so everything was a MESS, if you took 2 hours in intimates they’d tell you you were taking too long but it was always completely trashed and badly in need of a deep cleaning! So many hangers (especially the flimsy ones in intimates) were broken and /at my location at least/ the floor was so dusty and dirty that we would all be sneezing and literally running to the bathroom to blow our noses! Especially if we were working in clearance
I worked at kohls too!! Oh my gosh worst time of my life. Everything you said was spot on... I got trained for shoes but of course I took care of everything by the shoes. I barely got trained for register too lol. They let me shadow a girl for 15 mins then just stuck me there ugh
I'm supposed to work shoes but I got trained in kids.. so like, what do you do in shoes?? loll helppp
@@JollyGiggler101 I used to work in shoes for a few years, now I'm in kids. If you have any questions I'll answer as best I can.
Sounds like Macy's.
Same thing going on with me I swear
Luis Cruz you still working there
well.... now idk how to feel about this job interview at kohl's tomorrow lol
Lajosiecortez1 How did it go?
Feefa roni got the job lol my first day is Wednesday 😂
Lajosiecortez1 i have mine tomorrow and now I just want to cancel it lol
girl same lmao
Me too lol
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.
#typicalretailscenariosadly
So true everything you have mention!
What is the age limit
I worked at kohls last year and I quit after 3 months they treat the employees awful
Tori Jones they forgot to pay me for 17 hours
& their upper management treats their customers just as poorly, so I can imagine they treat their employees just as poorly.
Not at the Kohl's where my mom works everyone there is suoer nice
@@lovely.taylor5778 where I work nearly everyone is nice. It is actually a great and funny community...but still retail
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.
Hi can I ask which Kohl's you worked at?
I’ve worked at a Kohl’s for almost a year now and I completely sympathize with being the only person on the floor. Every day i’m not scheduled as part of the closing team I am the only person working the floor, and I’ve never been trained in shoes, home, infants, girls, boys, or electronics. I don’t really have any issues with my managers though, they’re pretty nice.
When I left one of my old jobs, they hired a new manager and i went there to shop and she was literally cursing at all of the employees in front of the customers. it was so unprofessional. My mom and I looked at each other like are you serious and we just left. that was crazy
Every Kohl’s is different, the one I work at is okay and the managers are nice. But you said things that were spot on. I felt like the “training” I had only lasted 10 minutes and then they just threw me on POS and I made a fool of myself. My last job was a dishwasher so retail was an improvement. I like my job at Kohl’s well enough but I relate to everything you brought up.
When you work omni fulfillment and if you dont find everything every time, they treat you like you're an ass. F them.
I watched through this entire video and I'm surprised at how you managed to do this all within one take while being on topic and concise most of the time. I was hired on late September and stayed for the seasonal season (first week of January) and I didn't shadow anyone for training and jumped into it on my first official day of POS. I had nice managers that wanted to get everyone up to speed (even the newer hires in like mid-November) and the coworkers were helpful, so sorry this happened to you.
I just found your channel and I love it! ❤️ even though this is an older video I’m so sorry that Kohl’s did that to you. It is awfully ran company. I will say I worked at two locations. 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 also worked at Kohls for a few weeks. $7.25, non negotiable seasonal pay. Stocked for a week, placed in an area I never stepped foot in in my life to help costumers for Black Friday. Later, although I was hired for stocking, they had me helping costumers in shoes. Quit with an email, no notice.
I got hired for stockroom operation is that same thing you got hired for ? I don’t know what to expect.
I love your story time vids. Youre really good at painting a picture and youre not all over the place with it.
Thank you!
I was also scheduled immediately after orientation and have gotten 5/6 shifts a week :)
My first day at kohls was Black Friday, no training, and I did fine I'm still working there 2 years I been doing amazing there , moral of the story a job is what you make of it not all jobs are perfect
1) Are you still at Kohl's now, Gerardo?
2) Some stores are worse than others. It can NOT be left entirely up to the person working there. There are sooooo many videos about bad Kohl's experiences.
If you're insinuating that I'm a poor worker, please bear in mind that I only share certain jobs and stories with UA-cam. I've had great jobs and currently have an awesome job that I love. Brick & mortar retail giants are dropping like flies and when they treat employees like trash, it's no wonder why.
I loved working at Kohls as well.
I don't know if anyone is saying you are a poor worker but, even with my first job a lot of retail is common sense which you seem to have so I don't know why it was so confusing even without training. 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.
I know people love drama and your views would take a hit if you did positive work experiences but, maybe adding a tidbit in a storytime would make you come across differently. I am new to your channel and you seem like a sweet girl but, as I watch more and more videos that are all about work issue I literally had the thought today, maybe it's her. I'm not saying it is I just often hear you say I'm not going to do that instead of what can I do to help. You come off a bit self centered. This video was a long time ago but, your recent ones have the same vibe and same issues. I would love to keep watching but, it's getting a bit of a new job same old story vibe.
I work at Kohls, but it's not the stores. I work at the distribution center in Macon. Started as a warehouse associate, worked seasonal, now I'm working part time and soon to full time. I am in the shipping department, all I do is load up boxes into the trailers so that way they go to the stores.
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.
In worked at Kohl’s and accidentally got trained on register even though I was Operations. They gave me my second cashier shift.... on Black Friday for 12 hours. It was a nightmare. And don’t even get me started on their so-called sales. I hate that place.
Wow they were gonna call you on your schedule? My orientation was on September and that same day they gave my group and I our schedules. My orientation was on a Thursday and I immediately began training the next day. Ouch I'd hate it so much to wait that long. That really sucks!
+Jasmine Aquino It was awful
I worked there for 2 months before I quit. My first retail experience too! I did my 2 trainings with no job shadowing & my first day they threw me on the register by myself. Smh. They had no sense of direction for new employees.
Hey Hannah, You were there a lot longer than me. At orientation, when a dour-faced manager told me I had to download a third party 'schediling' app on my cellphone, I politely made my excuses and left, never to return.
After listening to your experience, I know I did the right thing - and I have retail experience. Already have another job, so no sweat. As for them, their days are numbered since dept stores are passing into history. Love yr accent btw 😀 Good luck! 👍
One of my coworkers interviewed at Kohls and the manager literally kept him there for an hour and a half just talking and then told him they didn’t have any openings and to check back around Christmas. Kohl’s sucks.
Lmao everything she said was true. DO NOT WORK FOR KOHL'S. No consistency with hours. You can literally get either 5-8 hours a week during non holiday times. Jan- July u literally get maybe 2 or 3 days a week at best.
I Worked overnight shifts. Which is more, but way more work. Which u would assume, but when your working a 3-4 man job by yourself for 8-10 hours, gets physically stressful. On too of incompetent managers and supervisors, terrible place.
ShahBoogey wow that’s crazy
i didn’t get trained either omg. my first day the h2 didn’t even know that they had new hires, i had to repeat my name like six times. the girl that “trained me” felt so bad because she had no idea what i was supposed to do. thankfully this is just a temporary job since i’m going to college in a month
I worked in kohls too from summer of 2006 to December of 2006. I stopped working when I went on mat leave. I didn't mind it worked recovery, and changing room women's. After that I did the changing room in children's, and accessories. My manager was pretty nice but the store manager was a witch.
Y’all Kohl’s be something else , the one I work at I got a bunch of training and everyone is super nice all the H2s/ hospitality hosts are also super nice and helpful
Places like kohls and walmart should not work thanksgiving for black friday. Let people be with their families, and enjoy themselves.
Im working there as a temporary as offseason baseball job. My experience was good everyone at my store is kind and respectful yes there is minor swearing while we unload trucks lol but its for good reason. The managment is so nice i leave 30 min early as i usually skip lunch but i work 5 am to 1 pm
wow, it sounds like management sucks overall at all Kohl's. I can relate to your story after working there for just one season.
I actually enjoy working at Kohl’s. The only thing if it isn’t the holidays you don’t get enough hours. But other than that my managers are all nice most of my co-workers are cool and the job is alright. The hiring and interview process was also a breeze.
I just started working at Kohl’s and I absolutely love it! Everyone is sooo nice! Even customers! This is my first time working retail and I love what I do. The kohl’s I work at is so well put together.
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.
This girl at my Kohls. Her first day was black friday. I'm surprised she came back for the rest of the season. I think she only worked seasonal cause she didn't stay on afterwards.
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.
purple orange that is such a sweet and positive comment that it comforted me, and I'm not even in the girl's situation. Bless your soul.
I worked for Kohl's, sadly many Kohl's are like this and have known many people who worked in different stores. Management was abusive, the policies are so inconsistent and really shady honestly. I'm really not sure how Kohl's stays afloat. They treat their employees like dirt! Don't work for them you'll get screwed over and treated unfairly :(
It’s really kinda crappy that these stores are actually open on solid holidays! It’s ridiculous. Back in the day stores weren’t actually open on thanksgiving. Black Friday in the 80s vs Black Friday 2020 is such a social shock!
If you're working seasonal especially in the winter, you're 100% going to work holidays FYI
I know you posted this last year but I was just hired as a seasonal employee as well. They have not scheduled me yet and it's been a week. Luckily I have a second job but I applied for extra money but I'm given no hours yet.
i worked there for two years and I start as a team lead (for kids and home) at a new location (state including) next week with orientation. This was in 2018 and a LOT more organized and not as hectic. I'm sorry you ended up with a bad experience. Not all retail and kohls locations are like that.
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.
My first day at JCP was black Friday with no training as well lol..total nightmare 😱
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).
That's sad 😒
That’s true. I waited for 2 weeks after the orientation and I had to called them back ugh🙄
I worked at Ross and I was never trained either. They stuck me in the fitting room. I quit last month without a two weeks notice.
I hated Ross I work there for 2 days and quit
I hated working at Kohl's with a freaking passion!!!!! It was like high school all over again tbh the area and department supervisors along with their "besties" got all the hours while I got stuck coming in for four hours,asking customers to sign up for a Kohl's charge was a PITA(pain in the a**) and they left me off the schedule ON PURPOSE!!!!!!!! They let me go in February 2011 and I've never felt happier
God bless you Hannah. So sorry to hear about your terrible working experience there. Shame on her for mistreating you. I worked at Kohl's too, and I never really liked it all that much.
I love your videos you seem pretty chill ☺️
Im at the register and im so ready to quit but i have only 24 days left 🤦🏾♀️ im trying to push through. But man this is killing meee
My sister shops at Kohl's often yet she never sees the same workers very often. Now I understand why they leave. Years ago after college i worked in the office of a higher end store. Sometimes a sales associate would be brought into the office and critiqued loudly to the point of tears. Retail associates should be respected so much more.
Btw can you do a makeup tutorial on what your wearing in this video. Omg your makeup looks so good.
I definitely can!
Her Nails too!!!😃
I got the job the day after my interview. Btw it was a group interview
This is literally me lol . I'm quitting tomorrow 😂
+Andrea Hoover Yaaaaas!
This is so funny.
I just applied to Kohl’s yesterday, and I’ve already got an email this morning for scheduling an interview. This will be my first job, and I’m nervous. After watching this and reading the comments, idk if I wanna work there anymore.
Just give it a try. Not all managers are the same. I don't remember having a rude manger in my 10 years of working. 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.
Jennifer Martinez PLEASE DONT . I just started and im working there i seen lot of reviews but i told my self give it a try and im ready for it to be done
That sucks. I just applied for loss prevention at a store near me. Hopefully they're a little better. If I have a manager like that I'll turn around and walk out lol.
I’m working at kohl’s Rn and they literally barely trained me I’m still so confused and I’m supposed to be part time but they got me working 30+ hours
I just applied to be a seasonal associate. They sent me an email to schedule an interview. I currently work at McDonald's. The manager at the McDonald's I work at didn't even train me. They basically said "here's your schedule, figure it out on your own." I hate working at McDonald's and after watching this video, I'm debating on even scheduling for a interview. Really appreciate this video though.
How did your interview go?
Every time I go to kohls I all ways see different people there's a big turn over at my store I never see the same person working there's all ways different managers
welp, this is now a heads up for what i’m expecting cuz i’ve got orientation tomorrow 😀
I BELIEVE EVERYTHING SHE SAID‼️
i got sick in a khols once and never wanted to go in the store again anywhere then they built one in the town 30 minutes away
I have an interview tmm for stockroom operations associate and im so nervous for what the questions will be.
What happened
How was it
I’ve been working at kohl’s for 1 year now and it’s the best place to work I love it coworkers are friendly manager is super nice amazing job
I know! I LOVE working there. Every single one of my managers is professional AND kind. I’m honestly so surprised that so many people have a bad experience
Hannah, you are so sweet. I seldom watch a video to the end, but yours I did. I can't imagine a company that is not willing to train someone. I am glad you found a good job and Victoria's Secret is fortunate to have you. 6 people put thumbs down on your video. Shame on them. Next time I am at Kohls I will think of you. Good luck in your future. I am sure you will do well. Love your attitude. I worked in retail when I was young and later owned a retail store. My experience would have been the same had they had a Kohls in Canada in the 60's. I would have quit. Love your spunk.
+Scottieonamission Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate comments like yours; they always keep me going!
I came in for my interview at kohl’s at 2 pm and didn’t interview till 4:15 because no one came. And then when I started working they basically said figure it out and got annoyed if I asked questions
Managers like that eventually get fired or quit, they get fired because they do that to someone either whose parents have money or someone whose parents are lawyers and can sue.
I worked at Kohl’s to i hated it never gave me enough money to save or buy gifts so I had to get another job within a month of working there. But I did like it that I got payed weekly.
I have that Led Zepplin shirt lol and I bought it from Kohls in the men's section 🤣😂 I'm even wearing it in my profile picture!
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.
I know this was years ago, stumbled onto your video but anyway I’m sorry you had a bad experience with kohl’s!! 😅
I worked at kohls during the holidays I quit BC I was pregnant with twins and they were working me 40plus hours. I was supposed to part time. Told manager about cutting some of my hours and she said wow someone must like u to give u all those hours. I quit a few days later
Well, I'm very sorry to hear about your experience. I'll be an associate for 2 years in November. We're a small 56k store and I know bigger stores are just giant messes for one, high turnover rate too. My store functions like a family..we have some crazy aunts, but everyone has their heart in the right place. We break our backs doing crazy stuff for customers. I'm so glad you found a job you like better!
I just got a job interview for this Saturday what do you think I should expect
How did you apply? I’m trying to apply at Kohl’s because at this point I just want to work somewhere cuz I’m in need of cash lol but I was told to apply online but like how do I apply to the store I want? Because there is a Kohl’s like 5min away form my house and that’s the store I’m trying to apply to but like how...? I need help I’m new at this lol
Plus they'll scold u for making one mistake about something you've been doing for months with no complaints. In fact they can watch u do it all the time, then randomly complain about u doing it wrong..
#soundslikemyoldjob
No offense but if the calls really went this way, you should have quickly told the manager her unprofessionalism is the reason you will be finding a better job with SOMEONE ELSE! CLICKKKKKK.
+Simone Wade When you need a job really bad, you're more willing to overlook unprofessionalism lol but after a while it was too much, yknow?
No. They close rank. Stick with their people. No use.
I got a job offer. Is it true that elegible associates are forced to get the Kohl's credit card? Not selling it but actually have to apply and get the credit card for themselves?
They don’t make you do that, you can apply for it if you want but it’s not a requirement!
its true i had to wait two weeks after orientation to get a call back and i had to call them
THIS IS ME RN
RIGHT DOWN TO EVEN STARTING IN THE JUNIORS DEPARTMENT AND NO ONE ELSE BEING ON THE FLOOR AND RUDE MANAGER,L
Same thing happen to me at this one retail store not at kohls I wasn’t trained but expected to stand round for 32 hours week wen I sat in break room I got told find something to do I quit I really hate feeling lost on a job and can’t help no one 😊 peace
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.
I Live in San Diego, Ca. And you are exactly right. Our Meryns closed and we made it into a Kohl's. So that might be why it's familiar to you. I helped to fill in the new layout of my store for 2 months right before the KOHLS grand opening
this happened to me too , not the best managment
Basically my experience at JCPennys. No training or guidance, just “figure it out”. Awful place to work!
Been working 6 months at kohls in the shoe dept and I am fed up and I'm currently trying to find a different job 😑😒.
1JZGaming I just started at kohls. Any advice how the register works? I'm kinda nervous
@@taker300any update?
I think Kohl's sucks. One week before Christmas all stores are open 24-hours a day. This is what I hate about Christmas. It's all about commercialism and making money. The true meaning of Christmas has been lost. Anyone who goes shopping at 2am in the morning either suffers from insomnia or doesn't have a life!
or is a vampire😂
Steven Charles To each their own. Don’t be so judgmental!
Agree. Years ago when I lived in England, worked for a large supermarket chain (owned by Walmart) that was open 24 hrs and the week before Xmas, even at 2am was manic. Will say at least they laid on a nice buffet for staff during their break.
So sorry about your experience I've been with Kohls 12 years....may I ask what state you were in?
Louisiana
lmaoo omg i used to work kohls too and i quit. their management sucked and they treated employees horribly.
I worked there about 8 months and it was awful. The management was so unorganized. They played favorites and kept the morale low by constantly making you feel like you aren’t doing enough. The credit card applications were a huge issue. They would push them like crazy and even go as far as to cut you off in the middle of talking to a customer, get on your register and start pitching the credit card. I was disgusted with how the place was ran.
My third day is tomorrow. I don’t mind it so far but training isn’t very long, so I’m still pretty confused about working the register and Omni. Like Omni better though
Why do they keep those kind of managers? I don't work retail so I guess I don't get ut
Just like target I never ever see no one on the floor ever unless if you go to the front desk and ask for help I swear there's only one person on the floor when I go or there's no body I went there a while back durning the day I did it see one employee on the floor maybe two cashiers and a front desk person this is a slower store but still help is hard to find
Nice shirt! Best band ever!
The store manager from my interview was really nice, she was talking about how the store employees are pretty close and it’s a fun upbeat place to work. I hope that’s the truth 😂
this sounds exactly
like when i tried to apply at a supermarket lol
