Have y'all got the new Amazon training? Returns are about to take 3 times longer I'm so excited!!! Customers already get mad enough when they have to wait 5 minutes now it'll be 5 minutes per customer!

We received new stickers and a new training you have to manually search for called "LPN" the video is 4 minutes and explains the new ways.

I have no idea when this is starting but I assume it's very soon. Just in time for the worst time of the year for Amazon.

I started off as a seasonal worker, mostly doing trucks and Amazon returns and then became a housekeeper after the store got rid of the third party cleaners. I've been at Kohl's for just a little over four years. Honestly, it hasn't been that bad for me, other than a couple of trainees with some attitude problems and a passive aggressive SM who eventually got let go for not making good enough numbers. I've enjoyed reading your stories and I'm glad my store wasn't nearly as awful as some of the garbage fires I've read about here, haha! I'm excited to start my new job, but I will miss my coworkers and I know the store's cleanliness will take a hit after I leave, especially going into the holidays. They had not planned for my resignation at all. That said, it's not my problem anymore and I'm so relieved I won't have to do another holiday season in retail. I'll still lurk here because I enjoy the stories, but for those of you who are about to head into the holidays, hang in there! Make sure to stay hydrated, get good rest and eat. Take care of yourselves!

How much assistance / help do you any of you get when it comes to pushing your freight? Especially with any Hardlines Heavy trucks.. [whether its during the holiday season or not]

[and please tell me I'm not the only one with this much chaos with my team..]

I'm the Hardlines Merchandise lead in my stores location and on average I am completely alone pushing my freight. My ASM will assist with pushing toy freight for me (thankful af), unless she's on vacation, then it all falls back to me. There are days now especially during our holiday season where I am literally drowning in my freight because I'm completely overloaded and overwhelmed by everything I'm supposed to do. (Because apparently pushing freight isn't enough, I also get scheduled on the physical sales floor simultaneously and have to answer calls, backup and help customers. I never finish my freight and it will usually overlap into the next truck where I will continue to be overloaded) On top of the lack of help, my Hardlines supervisor who is supposed to be with me doesn't work with me, because she's in softlines the majority of the time because the softlines Manager is incapable of being helpful to the team.

Have I tried talking to my management team to receive help? Absolutely, but I'm usually told in a BS kinda way that softlines is more important..

I've had multiple conversations with my SM and ASM about this and they always promise one thing and turn around and do something else.

Because of the lack of help i do receive, i usually become pretty overwhelmed and overstimulated and it affects my mood / attitude on the sales floor. And them I'm called into the office because they don't know how to "handle me" and that my "behavior is unacceptable"... when they're lack of empathy is the reason I probably lost my shit in the first place...

I don't know about any of you.. but I'm the black sheep / ugly step child in my stores location..

Hi y'all!! I just got hired at Kohl's and I just wanted to ask people (Who currently and not currently work there) questions before my first day. These are kind of like rapid fire questions. I know each Kohl's is different!

• Can we wear hats or bandanas? I didn't see anything regarding that on the clothing FAQ
• Is it only direct deposit? or can we get a paper check too?
• Where do we get our schedule? and is there a website for the schedule so I can look at it from my laptop/print it out?

Any advice would be appreciated for working at Kohl's too!!

Thank y'all in advance!!

I'm curious if Kohls gives raises and/or performance reports? Also, do most Seasonal employees get asked to stay on after the holidays?

Hi! I had an interview at Sephora at Kohl’s on October 16th and was wondering how long it usually takes to hear back?
I originally applied for the seasonal beauty advisor lead position but during my interview she told me they had already filled it.She also said they still wanted to interview me though because they’re looking for full and part time beauty advisors!

The interview went pretty well imo and she even said she thought i’d be a good fit for the team! But, i haven’t heard anything since and my application still says “in progress” on workday.

Has anyone had a similar experience? How long did it take for you to hear back? I’m just trying to figure out if i should keep waiting or move on lol

Former Kohls associate:

With the quarter coming to an end, LP has internal theft quotas to hit. Here’s what to know, and do about being called into the office.

You will most likely be called into the office immediately after clocking in. Your manager or ASM will introduce you to a wonderful face on the computer, a LP detective.

If your thinking “omg am I going to get fired”, you’re already fired. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how much you’ve cost the company, and how long you have been costing the company. Not for you to keep your job.

The LP detective will spend usually about 30 minutes getting to know you, so that they can manipulate a confession out of you. If they seem friendly and understanding it’s because they’re trained on a technique to specifically get you to volunteer information.

The LP detective will then have your ASM or SM give you pieces of paper, this is where they’ll want you to write your statement. DO NOT WRITE ON, OR SIGN THIS PAPER!! Writing on this paper essentially automatically voids your chances of getting any sort of unemployment.

You might also be thinking “oh they won’t fire me”. They will. You’ll either be placed on suspension (so that they can investigate more and fire you in a week) or terminated on the spot.

Best bet after being called to the office and sitting down, is asking if you’re free to leave. The answer will always be yes because Kohls doesn’t want kidnapping on their record 🤣

Remember: DONT SIGN. DONT WRITE. LEAVE.
LP is not here to “get your side of the story” or “clear up any misunderstanding”, they are there to fire you and save the company money.

I just had my orientation today and she said I could shop after with the discount but I don’t see it. I already had a Kohls account, I gave her my email for her to add it. Do I have to wait for her to do something first???

Edit: so I changed my email in workday to match my rewards account. I received the new email link. I set up my discount after I deleted the app. My account shows I have associate discount but when I go to my cart or even checkout there is no additional discount there 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know what to do

Scheduled next friday 4 hrs, cant come in should i let manager know or call off. Tried to find someone to cover me, no luck

Haven't called off in 2 years

I got called into the office today for a video call with LP. They said I stole by not scanning an item at self checkout. I told them when I got home and looked at the receipt the price seemed lower than it should be and I wanted to go back and pay for what I didn’t scan but I never did. I know I fucked up. They suspended me. I’m going to get fired, aren’t I?

Sorry if this has been posted before but nobody at the location where I work seemed to know this, so here is it so hopefully it can help more people.

I wrote it down for my manager, but here it is! Hope this will help someone.

Will there be any special associate sales for November/December/holiday season?

I’ve worked for a lot of retail stores and I’ve never worked at a store that’s so unorganized. I got hired seasonal “sales associate” my first day I got put on register, 20 min run down of everything then got thrown on like nothing.
2nd time working my schedule said “ home & kids” which I was only showed the kids area, all the “leads” for every department didn’t even want to train me!
They tried to throw me back on registers but the LOD said I had to be on the floor. I got moved from kids (doing go backs) to men’s (go backs) every time I was done I had to keep asking the LOD where do I go, what am I supposed to do?! By the time closing LOD came in, he came at me hard stating if I even knew the sales floor, was I aware of this or that! (OBVIOUSLY NOT) because nobody wants to train properly! Is every shift gonna be this unorganized?!

Why o why in busy days like gold star clearance we have 2 in fit room and 1 in register. Fit room people keep getting pulled to register. When they get off fit room is out of control yet intimate person never does back up, never helps In fit room. As a part timer I am not allowed to have them do back up or fit room as I am over stepping my authority. Help please drowning in go backs while others are doing " projects" or detailing

Tomorrow is my orientation for truck team. What can I expect? My previous retail job, I was a seasonal hire and stuck it out for 4 years. The work wasn't the problem, it was piss poor management and I had enough. We were a small team of 3-4 employees + merchandising "manager". We unloaded the truck and put all SBA out the same day, and continued with repacks after putting out our u-boats.

I need to know what I can expect.

Thank you in advance for your help and guidance.

Good morning,

Can someone tell me where does cdu Bsby Einstein goes...

Also I got new CDU holiday Games, some CDU called BLOOM and Personal Heaters ( I assume in floor care)

Much appreciated

my store got the impulse bowls in that attach to the stanchions .. what are you filing them with ? we only have the posts at Amazon for now

Asking because I need two days off within the next two weeks - one for a very long, difficult doctor's appointment and the other for non-refundable out-of-town travel for Halloween. I was interviewed via a hiring event (took less than five minutes and I got an email a few days later confirming I was hired) so I didn't get asked about this then or think to bring it up but now I'm worried they will have already scheduled me for those days. :/ Other than that I have complete open availability. Should I call and talk to the hiring manager or just show up and see if they have the schedule already done?

It’s me again! Nervous as always. i know i need to get over it and blah blah blah but i can’t really do that in one day.

I had orientation last wednesday, and tomorrow is my first real day of training. I didn’t fully understand what i was told to do but it was late we were both tired so i didn’t ask her to elaborate. My (store manager? whoever does the orientation) kind of explained everything like it was common sense and i should know it. that’s kind of why i was scared to ask a lot of questions because when i did, ill be honest she made me feel stupid.

Anyway, she kinda explain that i will start training and like oh ill clock in, go get a zebra and walkie rtalkie and tell h2 (i think thats what she said) im there? what does that mean? what do i say? What does the zebra do? i’m so terrified because i know ill screw something up! where do i go afterwords? Im scheduled to work service/bank 1 registers.

Thank you guys for being so patient with me! I really truly do appreciate everyone who’s been answering my dumb questions lol

Got hired as a** **Seasonal Stockroom Operations Associate. Any insight on what this position does?

I know I’m seasonal but I will need a week off sometime in December for something that was preplanned. Are you able to give shifts away? Ask for time off / or ask to not get scheduled??

I noticed there's a QR code for an employee survey through the 29th on the huddle walk sheets... however, nothing shows up to be able to complete it. Anyone else having an issue doing it? When I log in I see the one from March completed but nothing new comes in.

If I purchase something online with the 35% as a gift. Am I allowed to put the shipping address as that persons (they live in another state)? I don’t want to do something and get in trouble unknowingly
