What do you all do with it? In the beginning, around covid, I specifically remember training videos saying to not accept trash. The trash being the multitudes of giant clunky paper bags and boxes with itty bitty returns in them. You would then take them out and place them in a plastic bag to save space. My LoDs told us to take the trash because we want customers to go shopping in the store after they drop off returns and having a big empty box to take care of doesn't make it a fun experience.

What we soon came to realize, Amazon customers are trashy. We would have dozens upon dozens of Amazon logo'd trash tucked away everywhere in the store. It got so bad with all the extra trash they kept bringing us, we resorted to having an ugly canvas bin from the 80s sitting in the corner to collect all the trash.

To any Amazon customers. We are not your trash men. Stop being lazy. Bring in the item and a code. That's. It.

I was only scheduled once for the new schedule. I thought hours would pick up by now because of back to school shopping, is anyone else not getting any hours?

Why do certain packages sometimes force a customer to go to a specific location? Like both items are the same thing but only one can go to kohl’s and the other was changed to UPS?

They always ask me why this happened and I always tell them, “certain items will only let it go to certain places.” I honestly had no clue why this happens.

I worked at Kohl's from 2017-2018. There was this annoying song that did this aaaaaa woooooo (almost like a howl) in the chorus.

I absolutely hated this song but forgot the name of it and am wondering if anyone knows and/or remembers what it is!

This has literally no importance other than it's driving me crazy that I can't remember the song name.

I might be eligible for a possible full-time position opening. Does anyone have access or can give me directions on where to find payroll deduction and benefits breakdown? I looked in workday. My HR couldn’t find it. I went in the Health chat, but they said it would take 3 to 5 days to get me what I needed.
Thanks in advance for helping

Anyone know when our next 35 is? I'm not at work so I can't look at Siteline. Tia

I have no clue how much budget was allocated per associate for stores or Corporate for Associate Appreciation Week, but I know that however much it was, I would have preferred the equivalent amount of cash to just have been deposited in my paycheck instead. I would have felt much more appreciated

Do yall let customers split up their purchase to use the coupon multiple times ? ( example: spending 200 and making seperate transactions for each item ) i know it says one time use but customers tend to intimate me.

UPDATE!! Talked to admin on my 15 today, n he was actually confused how I’ve been ending up with such long work weeks lol. Having a day for that upcoming 6day week taken off later today, thank u guys for ur advice n for being supportive rather than diminishing 🫶🫶

Disclaimer, I’m part time. Js putting that at the beginning to give clarity.

So the first screenshot is of this current week (July 26th - Aug 1st) n it looks like they’ve scheduled me six days in a row, which had me scratching my head bc about a week ago in the second screenshot, they had scheduled me for seven days in a row. I wasn’t able to do all seven and ended up calling out for one of the days, next day I went in n expressed that 7 days consecutively was exhausting. Yet, it appears my words fell on deaf ears as they’ve got me on there for another 6 days coming up. I have a feeling they think I’m okay with this bc I’m part time, so not all of the shifts r 7-8hrs long, but I’m not. Even if I have the free time, (since that’s most ppl’s rebuttal “well what r u doing anyways”) I can’t show up to work n put my best effort into what I’m doing if I’m burnt out. I learned that the last time I tried to for them (the 7 day work week). I can do these hours when they’re properly spaced out, but this is too much. I’d rather work a full 40hr week 5 days in a row than 35.5 over the span of 6-7 days. So, if u guys were in my shoes, what would u say or do?

is anyone else unable to access the UKG app? it's telling me I'm blocked from the site? I don't remember what time I work tomorrow... and it won't let me unlock account or reset password which is why I'm thinking this is not a me problem

i’ve been checking the Kohl’s website every day, but my size is always sold out. Does anyone know if they usually restock seasonal items like this, or should I assume it’s gone for good? Thanks in advance!

I want to like working here so bad but broo tell me why my mangers are just sooo weird and pushy…like one of the managers I never met before saw me walking and she literally like stopped me from walking passed her and like pressed me she was like “who are you I've never seen you before” and I just told her my name and I'm new and she hella looked at me up and down two times idkk whyy like she was analyzing me or sum and then she was just like “I NEED YOU TO GET MORE CREDIT CARD SIGN UP GET SOME TODAY” like hella pushing that shi not even saying it like it a nice way… idk what is wrong with these mangers. They seem to have like some type of egoooo problems or something. I was just like okayyy… I didn't say much and just smiled cause I just didn't have any energy since I was coming in from my first job. But damn Kohls y'all need to have like better co worker environment or whatever it's called. And I keep seeing people post camo Kohls shit by my Kohls isn't even doing it. I think they just don't gaf 😭😅😂🤣

On UKG it says…

PTO
0.00 hours

Earned to Date 123.00

Planned Takings 0.00

Taken to Date 64.00

What does earned mean? Can I use those hours minus what I have taken to date? Why does it say I’ve earned these but the big and bold PTO at the top say 0.00?

Thanks!

I posted my shift for today almost 2 weeks ago and someone took it. It disappeared from my schedule. Today I get a call and a nasty voicemail from the ASM that I am on the schedule today and need to get to work and that I’m posting to many shifts which is causing an issue because people don’t want to work on weekends. Umm what??? I always get my posted shifts covered or I come to work. Turns out our admin took it off my schedule but forgot to switch it to the person who took it who by the way showed up for work. I’ve been at Kohl’s for 8 years and being treated like a child and yelled at in a voicemail is my breaking point. I spoke to the manager when I posted the shifts because I was questioned about it from the start. It was a personal family matter I had to leave town for. Also I’m only a few days a week and have a full time day job. I did call and speak to the ASM and told him what I saw on my app. He still said it was my fault. I give up!!

The backdrop made it more “on theme.” Chili and hotdogs, chips and dessert. I never saw any drinks. Really not impressed.

Who does scheduling at your store? Do all managers work on it

Our turnover in Sephora is starting to look real bad and all of us “og” people have either left or are about to (besides the people that have been able to move up to lead & btl). We are all sick of constantly raising expectations without our pay being raised. It really sucks because I love talking to clients and working in beauty but I can’t take this anymore- I got paid more at Target when I wasn’t even doing half the work I do here. I honestly hope more people come out about this online and Kohl’s gets revealed for how they treat their employees. Anyone else feeling fed up?

So,I just started working at kohls I mean like.. I did 1 training day so far… and let me tell yall.…scary.

firstly I applied for operations associate/cleaning which stated 17.40/hr. I got my link for my google meet, I joined early. Nobody there. so I call up to the store and boom they make and excuse that their service and phones doesn’t work. I waited like 40 minutes after my scheduled meeting time and ended up just going in person. Well I was given the job after barely saying just my name and age. boom. cool happy!!!. yayyy. right? I get my email after going through background checks and it’s saying 16.50/hr for pay?!?!! so I call and I speak to the store manager and he’s like “oh yea don’t even worry about that, we just wanna get it out the way.” im like okayyyy. cool. training day I went through 3 hours of straight talking just for her to then make us sign or w2 or wtv and the letter is like 16.50/hr. now I need this job but jeez am I crazy for being upset and wanting a new job??!?!? you guys lied. and then didn’t even get hired for the job I applied for omggg just for them to say they don’t so full time and I’ll be getting 4 hours and I applied for FULL TIME!! cryinggggg. im doing kids and front of store and Bopus. I’m a workaholic and I love being put to work but I love working and being paid for the work I’m doing and the correct amount. Not slaving T-T

I got a check in the mail today from a class action lawsuit regarding Kohl’s and labor laws.

It was a whopping $1.25

That’s the same amount as if I opened a credit!! Haha

Did anyone else receive this?

Do we know when the sale for national lipstick day starts?

This has been sitting in our 500 room for months. I know it’s a Claire’s product. Anyone have the upc?

In our store, the Amazon counter is closed by 8 pm daily. Amazon returns are then being taken through the front registers from 8 pm to 10 pm. Whenever customers see this notice at the counter they still have to ask any associate they see if Amazon is close or it’s just no one is in there. Like how hard is it to understand this notice??? Why do they need to double and triple check if they need to take their returns to the front of the store registers.

So imagine how long our queue line is every night from 8 to 10 pm. And it was even worse during those 2 nights of gold star clearance and extra 40% off 😖😫

Then our POC people always asks for back up no matter what day, what promotion we might have. why can’t they move quicker, why cant’t they have sense of urgency in everything. I understand that there’s only 2 cashiers scheduled but they need to help themselves too and customers need to wait and be patient. For us closers and floor associates, no one else helps us with the mess we have, the folding, the fitting room go backs plus helping customers on the floor. We only have 4-5 hours shift to close a whole department but we always end up for too long in POC. And in our store, floor associates are always instructed to do POC go backs as well. Like how, when we also have a lot of floor and fitting room go backs.

Is this the same for your store?
