Kohls Interview Questions

Kohls Questions: What are you strengths and weaknesses? Where do you plan to be in five years? Why did you apply for this position? What do you know about Kohl's? Must answer hypothetical situations (i.e. If your are the cashier at Kohls and a customer asks for help carrying his/her things out. What do you do?)

Working Conditions

It can be very stressful at times in the store. Sometimes customers will complain to you when you don't have what they want. Furthermore, it can get hectic during the holiday season, due to being understaffed. Kohls simply don't have enough workers to assist all the customers at once. Some of the customers can be rude, demand a manager or even cause a scene. However, it's very rewarding to make a child happy by handing them a toy from the back or helping an elderly person out by carrying something for them. Furthermore, it's rewarding seeing people come back and smile at you because they are happy with the recommendations you gave them. Sometimes you will come out of work and cramp up in the legs, due to so much running around for customers.
