Kohl's Corporation Salaries, Bonuses and Benefits.

What are the average starting salaries, bonuses, benefits and travel requirements like at Kohl's Corporation?

What do you like best about working at Kohl's Corporation? Are there any great perks or special treats for employees?

Kohls does not pay very well that is for sure. I have been there now it will be 10 years in Oct., I am a dept. lead and I do not make $10.00 an hour yet!!! Especially for the amount of work you have.

In worked for Kohls in Michigan a few years back and got 8.50 hrly and treated very good
It was for xmas help but I was asked to stay on but not enough hrs for me to stay. the worst thing is too many cheifs and not enough indians.

I have to agree with the other comments. Kohls does not pay well at all.
6.50 per hour and they work your butt off. Then if the store is not recovered
you HAVE to stay and help until the store is ready to open the next day.
So if your schedule says 10:00, you may be there till 12:00 or even later.

HI, I am looking to get a job for Holiday help at Kohls. Can you tell me what the person does for the night shift, that has to do with signage? Is this an easy job? They want me to work from 7pm to 2am.

Thanks
Kristina

Ive been working in kohls for 4 years now. I am a supervisor now for a year and i do make 12 an hour full time. I love working there and it is a friendly place to work.

Most importantly, we value honesty and high ethical standards. We're a family and our Associates respect themselves and each other. -

It is a big lie.
If some employees see that you are very cleaver and fast and have many good suggestions, they treat you as a piece of junk. I just started to work in a new Kohl's store and already felt in on my own. They smile in your face, pretending to be your friend, but behind your back they saying bad things about you.

Forget this place.They are able to be "select" because the economy is bad. I was hired last year, but turned them down for a better retail job. Came back and reapplied this year, even went through the preemployment screening. Got turned down by a letter in the mail. Was there any difference in my qualifications last year as opposed to this one? Heck, I had more experience this year! No, they can afford to be picky and hire all the 18 year old kids they want for cheap wages.
Don't even think of going here if you are over 30.

I worked in the store for 4 years. The wage is not worth the amount of work you have to do, especially if you work in a department versus just working the register. I started at $7.00 and was only at $8.50 when I left four years later.

However, if you're interested in jobs at the corporate office, the pay is very good. (I know this because my fiance and my father both work for the corporate office, and both formerly work at store level.) There are a lot more benefits working at the corporate level, not only in pay, but in what corporate employees are offered and how they are treated. (Apparently sitting in cubicles is much harder than actually working in the store... That's the only way I can understand why there is such a pay gap.)

But, to answer the question more directly:

Benefits:
-health and dental insurance for full and part-time employees
-401K option after working for year (could be longer, I don't remember)
-discounts at certain companies including Apple, 24Hr. Fitness, Verizon Wireless, etc known as Kohl's perks
-15% employee discount on all merchandise except gift cards and Kohl's Cares for Kids merchandise

Starting Pay/Bonuses/Raises:
-$7.50 (starting in store, non-management)/ $30-40K (starting corporate, depending on job)
-yearly raise 3-5%, based on performance (store level; i don't know what raises are like on a corporate level)
-no additional bonuses at store level; don't know about bonuses at corporate

Travel:
-store level: no travel necessary unless you are a store manager
-corporate: depends on department and position held

you are right the pay is bad,they offer you benefits and if you get any benefits then you have no money left over for rent ,food,gas for your car.its a big company why only supervisor's get 40 hours and are full time.i unload the trucks and i should make at least 8.50 to 9.00 dollars not 7.55.also hours you can not live on 10 to 19 hours a week.and no rise after 90 days of being there.lets see the big shots give up there pay to make what we make see how they make all there bills on 7.55 hour.

I've worked for Kohls for over 8yrs. I used to think it was a fun and professional place to work. But recently the company make a dramatic changes. I don't have living family in the state I live. And I haven't seen my health failing father in 2yrs for the holidays. I worked one day a week. And gave advanced notice of over 2 months for this time off. I was told no one gets the holiday off. Since this might be the last time I see my father for the holidays, I told them I was going no matter what. Instead of communicating any problems or threats, they mearly stopped scheduling me. Very mature. Knowing I was being "punished" I didn't bother asking why. But called every week to see if I'd be put on the schedule. No hours. And for 8wks this went on. I've even ask, and got the run-a-round. (Mind you we got a fairly new store mgr) But the store mgr spoke nothing. Morale at this Kohls was at an all time low. Even an 02 (support mgr) Quit because of this SM. And she's been there before it was even Kohls some 15yrs. I've even made a call to the Corp Office. Only to see him assume it was me. My work ethic was in question. Why would I wait 8wks. (I have another job and not into games.) Now going into 9wks without notice. I talked to another mgr at Kohls to get what was once a nice mgr turned PitBull hang up on me because I didn't believe her lame excuse. Which was that they had to hire someone to fill my shoes of one day of absent. I don't know about the rest of the Kohls store's but I know this, they are doing house cleaning and no longer professional about it. To this day they have yet to tell me what's going on. Today I did get a phone call but knowing I am not going to be employed, I refuse to call back. I have never seen a poor performance at a nationwide business act so poorly. By the way, I made $11.15 an hour. Obviously, that's what I think lost me that job. But very unprofessional about handling it. I'd never shop that company again.

I have worked for Kohls for over 4 years and I've never had an problem. Yearly raises are always great. Ive been an area supervisor for 3 years and at this point I am making $17.42 (I started as a part time associate making $6.50).

Ive been @ kohls for 2 yrs..im a supervisor.the pay isnt good unless you are a supervisor and even better if you are a manager. They pay the new part timers minimum wage currently. very flexible easy to work in.very childish at times. as she said earlier, they will politely not schedule you, or lose your notes you write or even lose your app if you are trying to move up and they dont approve

I started at Kohl's in Oct. '10 in New Jersey, making $7.45/hr (I had 2 other jobs while I lived there, so the low pay wasn't a huge deal). I ended up being a manager-favorite, lots of customer comments, a "credit guru" as one of my managers called me, and even earned "sale", "people", and "credit" pins within only 3 months. When I asked for a transfer down to Kohl's here in FL, my manager's even tried to bribe me with trying to get me more hours so I would stay. That being said, even though I went above and beyond, I never got a raise after my 90 days, like I have read they give. 8 months later, even though I'm well liked at my new store in FL, I've still yet to receive a raise. The praise you (usually) receive is nice (good to know you're appreciated), but praise doesn't pay my bills. Now that I'm down to one job, living away from home, it'd be nice to be rewarded in a monetary sense. Although I generally enjoy my job, I may have to leave soon because of the lack of pay and the hours (when it's busy, you get around 20-25, holidays--you'll be worked ragged...when it's not busy, getting 15-20 is what you're looking at). In fact, I just had a woman who started here in FL after I did, quit due to the previously stated reasons. Being hired as seasonal help, then leaving is probably the best bet with Kohl's, unfortunately.

Sadly, they don't just give raises randomly bc ur doing a good job. After ur 90 day raise (some districts don't even do that anymore), u wont get another one until ur yearly review is processed which is in August.

I have worked for Kohls for 6 years. I work POS as well as departments. I think that working at this store is about the co-workers and not necessarily the money. If you are a teenager, its a great place to learn cash handling and standard operations in a retail environment (which is probably all you are going to have at that age). They were extremely helpful when it came to me working different schedules between my college classes, than student teaching, then going down to one day a week. I have never worked anywhere else where they were so accomodating to work around my schedule. I started at $7/hr and now make $9.13 As for a manager, if you are in retail its all the same. It's what you make it. If you first start you make 30-40's but if you end up being an 0-1 (which is the general manager of the store) you can make over $100k which includes your bonus. Overall I think Kohls is a great place to work.

What is the average hours a week for management?
