Hi, I’ve been a merchandising supervisor for about a month now and I’m finding a difficult time balancing my duties as a supervisor while also balancing my workload as a merchandiser. Between back up, callbacks, SAR, bopus/troubles, catching up on emails, and the million LOD calls, I feel like I never have time to push out my freight. And yes I do try to delegate tasks as best as possible but it’s hard when there’s barely people on the floor. I’m wondering how you other supervisors are dealing with all the workload?

alrighty so it’s super windy and fire prone in my area, i got a notification warning that they may have to shut the power off in the area where my store’s located at. if it helps it does say it’ll last today through saturday afternoon,

but i was wondering if the managers would let the employees know whether or not they have to come in?? i’m scheduled to close and i wanted some clarity on that lol. kinda hoping the power shuts off though.

What can I expect? Routine or the unexpected?

I have worked at kohls for two years now and I haven’t gotten any pay raises other than the state mandated change in minimum wage. I work serval positions like Omni, merchandising, and registers sometimes. Am I in a position to ask for a raise? I am on the verge of finding a new job because I don’t believe it is possible to make more money working for this company. So I’m just looking for some guidance on how raises work within Kohls.

I was hired as a seasonal worker. Saturday is my first “training day” on the floor what should I expect? My schedule app says (kids/home) do they typically always do only 1 day of training? I’m already put on the schedule the following shifts on the floor.. and will get fired if we asks for a certain day off 😳since it’s a 90 day period/probation.

Hey yall, I’m a new hire (seasonal) and i’ve been stressing about this topic for the past week, is there genuinely a d**g test? I just want to hear it from someone else if there is one or if i’m just in my head too much about this. Also, my orientation is tomorrow so wish me luck! :)

From my understanding, most stores train everyone on registers and Amazon in case they need backup or for break coverage, but I dont see how its the same for omni. I absolutely despise omni, and I plan on speaking to my manager about it, but is this normal to be scheduled on omni even though I wasnt hired for that position? When I applied I assumed id be doing what I applied for, truck unloading, but all ive done is registers, Amazon, and omni. Tbh, I dont mind registers or Amazon at all, and I actually find registers kinda fun even despite hating it at first. And i dont mean to complain, but omni is so stressful, especially as a newer employee who doesnt know where specific things are. Im just wondering why they keep scheduling me on omni? Most of my shifts for the next 2 weeks are omni... and if anyone has any tips so its less stressful, please lmk! And I have 1 more question, how do I answer a question from a customer like "what items are coupon eligible" if we carry so many different brands? Do I just generalize and tell them popular name brands?

kohls is a billion-dollar company and can’t afford actual artists for bags? is this a new thing? i have so many questions 😭

I’m a new Kohl’s associate and the training here at my store is quite rough and limited, it’s my very first retail job as well so I can tell you that it’s not going very smoothly for me. 🫩

Please help me out and tell me all the things you would like a new and untrained coworker to know!

For one, I still don’t know whether I’m supposed to take the zebra and radio device… And a lot of the little things Kohls features like how discounts only work on certain days etc… Tell me anything from the very basics ( I can guarantee you I haven’t been told ), to things that more seasoned workers know! Thanks so much for any help!

EDIT: Oh yeah also, I am hired as a Merchandise Associate :)

Anyone know more or less how to find out when Kohls receives their shipment? I’m in Spring, Tx and this Kohls in my area seems to keep blowing smoke. On Monday I was told it would be Tuesday. Tuesday I was told nothing in the truck followed by today when I called and they said they had received the shipment a few weeks ago!? But no display in sight…

hello! i just got hired at kohl's and my orientation is next week. i want to ask what the guidelines are regarding patterned tops, such as stripes... does that count as graphic or no? i have a red and black striped sweater i'd like to wear to work sometime especially since it's fall and i'm not really sure if that'd be allowed... please let me know! thank you!

Do you leave at the designated time or end up after it?

I start tomorrow doing seasonal associate jobs and want to give them a specific availability list. I have class at 2 certain days and it takes about 15 min from the store. If I tell them until 1:30, will I be out at 1:30 or should I tell them 1 because we always get stuck a little later?

Thank you!

What's does the purple dot means? Is it like an assignment or dpt

My sm has recently pretty much made it a requirement at our store that customers have to be signed up for rewards in order to return their Amazon packages at our store.
Apparently we're supposed to be handing over the zebra to every customer and if they don't wanna put in their email then we're supposed to refuse their return? Or at least that's what I gathered when it was explained to me a week or so ago. Are we even able to do that since it's a free service? Like I'm genuinely so confused about how they can require a rewards sign up to offer a free service. When my sm came in today she complained bc she didn’t think I had enough rewards but genuinely what am I even supposed to do if the customer is not interested

The past few work days ive been asking questions over the radio MULTIPLE times and its just silence... ive had boxes at the Amazon return drop piling up next to me because no one listens when I ask for a uboat exchange and I cant do it myself and leave no one at the desk!! And im not getting my breaks on time either because no one says anything when I say their name to cover me!! Im starting to get really annoyed... am i doing something wrong?? I know they can hear me and my radio is working.

like i know the store duh lol but like where do i go? im so scared like should i walk to up the cashiers and ask them? but even then what do i say? who do i ask for? im super nervous im so sorry if this a dumb question, this is my first job im scared!!! anyones experience would be so so so appreciated!

I barely made it to the front before I was surrounded.

Timberland boots size 10 I can’t get them even when I google search it and I go to the Kohls website. It says it’s not there anymore. It won’t give me the UPC. I know it’s clearance but we don’t have any left.

is there any one person at your store who is in charge of in-aisles ?

With employee associate discount coming up - what's the must have thing that you always buy? I'm curious to see how folks are utilizing their discount!

Sephora @ Kohls beauty advisors, is anybody else having issues ordering their Jan 2027 gratis? The window is open to order but nothing is popping up in the custom product tab or the shopping cart tab. I've attempted to order on the work desktop and my phone during work hours, still nothing is popping up. The only person who was able to order theirs was our Sephora manager.

I am a part time beauty advisor but I've worked at my location for 2 years now. We've seen nothing like this happen, wanted to see if anybody else is having issues.

One of my family members just got came back from their orientation and wanted to know what sorters do cause I don't know either. They start in 2 days for EFC work. i just want them to be mentally prepared. Is it tilt tray or something else completely?

I’ve been a part-time beauty advisor at Sephora @ Kohl’s for months now, and I used to really enjoy this job. Recently, one of our beauty leads left and was replaced by a new person. We’ll call her Rachel.
Rachel has been nothing but a control freak since her first day a few weeks ago. She talks a lot about how she worked at a different location years before, and left her job at another beauty store to take on this role.

Let me be clear: Rachel is a beauty lead advisor, NOT our Beauty Team Leader (ours is on a long vacation at the moment) but for some reason she makes comments such as “there’s gonna be some changes around here” and tells us BA’s that we need her permission to do things like replenishment in the stockrooms (SB1 & SB2), mainly because she’s “unaware of our experience and knowledge” even though some of us have worked here for years. She genuinely said that it doesn’t matter if she’s on her lunch and there’s a high number of replenishment in the stockrooms, we need to WAIT for her to come back from lunch to ASK her if it’s okay that we complete that task. It’s never been this way before.
I was recently given permission from Kohl’s leads to start closing registers because I work closing shifts so much, but the next day Rachel told me that I’m not allowed to if she’s here, and that it’s her job. I’m gonna be so honest with you when I say I watched her try to count one drawer for over 20 minutes.
Rachel claims that she’s just following the rules from the Kohl’s store manager, but the store manager has been around for like a decade and not a single beauty lead has ever treated us like this and acted so entitled and controlling. She constantly questions everyone’s abilities, even if we’ve proven ourselves to her 10 times over.
Other Leads focus more on LEADING us as a team, not telling us what to do, and Rachel’s attitude is so unexpected and unnecessary.

Another lead that I’ve talked to about Rachel’s behavior keeps telling me to stop trying to speak up towards her and instead just say “okay” and listen to her, but i genuinely don’t feel comfortable just bowing down to her every request, letting her walk all over me and treat me with complete disrespect. I’ve already reported Rachel’s behavior to the store manager, but nothing seems to change her attitude.

Is this behavior normal in other Sephora @ Kohl’s locations? And what CAN I do about it?
