Kohl's

The way they treat new hires or people potentially working there is very unprofessional and disrespectful. I had a phone interview scheduled on Friday 11/17 at 10am and I haven’t received a call so I called them at 10:15 just to see what was going on and the lady who was interviewing told me to give her a hour to “get settled” and I said okay. So now it comes to 11:20 am and I still have not received a call back so I called them back AGAIN to see what was happening but the line was not going through so I called back the following day. To make the story short I kept calling back the next 4 days everyday asking and explaining to them what was going on but I kept getting told the same replies which was either “we’ll write your name and number down for the manager”, “we don’t have you in the system”, “someone will call you tmwr”, “ the interviewer is not here today”. I finally got in touch with someone around 5pm named BRITTANY who I assume was not supposed to be doing the interviews because she told me (with a annoyance tone and attitude)the interviewer that day left at 4pm and she’ll just interview me since nobody else wanted to do it (which why did you feel the need to tell me all that). So during the so called interview where she just asked me what hours can I work and what was my previous jobs she had a very agitated tone like she didn’t wanna do her job and if you feel like your job is making you be disrespectful to people for no reason maybe you shouldn’t work there so I let them know during the interview I’m no longer interested and this whole hiring process was A MESS and UNPROFESSIONAL and apparently no one knows anything or what they’re supposed to be doing for the job they applied for.

While I do enjoy shopping at Kohls for values for my family, including small grandchildren, I must say that it is annoying that every single time I shop there I am pressured to open a Kohls credit card. And I hear it at every register, cashiers pushing and pushing for card sign ups. I know that it is coming from management because Managers will stand nearby and listen to make sure the cashiers go through the "script" thoroughly. I can take care of myself and respond with a firm "no thank you" but other, more vunerable shoppers if you will, finally give in just to get away from the pressure. The nervousness of the cashiers when a Manager is standing close by listening is so apparent. I felt so bad for my cashier last week when the Manager was grilling her as to whether or not she tried hard enough to get me to open a Kohls card. The cashier kept saying, "she doesn't want one", until the Manager finally stopped. But, by far, the worst part of this Kohls practice is that management also pressures the employees to open a credit card so the they (the Manager) can get "credit for the sale". That should not be allowed or legal. Obviously employees are going to feel the pressure that they need to keep their managers happy. Kohls is a decent place to shop if you can get past the check-out registers, but honestly it is getting to the point that I shop every where else and only shop at Kohls if absolutely necessary. It would be lovely if Kohls would stop these pressure sales tactics both internally and with shoppers.
