Kohl's Department Stores

Management Intern

June - July 2019 • Delavan, WI

What I liked

I loved how willing everyone was to help me! The management team was incredible and I learned so much. The associates accepted us interns as managers and were so kind.

What I wish was different

There were times that not every manager was on the same page, which made it difficult sometimes knowing what I was supposed to do, but once we sat down and talked about it, they fixed it right away!

Advice

Be willing to ask questions and take initiative on projects!!

Management Intern

June - August 2019 • Chico, CA

What I liked

I learned SO much throughout this experience! The biggest take-away I got from this internship was leadership development. My experience with Kohl's definitely changed who I am as a leader, and what values I have as a leader. I felt totally supported during my internship and am very excited to see where my career with Kohl's takes me!

What I wish was different

Retail management in and of itself is just a difficult world to maneuver especially with no experience! But I never felt like I was on my own, I always had someone to support me throughout my internship.

Advice

Go into this experience with a positive attitude, the willingness to learn, and ability to take initiative! I definitely feel that is what made me successful with this company.

Store Management Intern

June - July 2019 • Grove City, OH

What I liked

I liked how the company is pushing towards growth and change. They are trying to keep current and show interest in your opinions. I felt as if I had a voice and I was taken seriously.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship itself would have been longer. I feel like I did not have enough time at the store to apply my knowledge and wish I could have been there for two more weeks.

Advice

Own your training, ask questions often and seek to learn and grow. This can be weeks filled with knowledge that will set you up perfectly for a future career.

Advice

Get a job; no matter how small or unimportant it is; no matter how much you're paid. It will increase your revenue, improve your resume, and give you experience, which may not be immediately applicable, but will definitely be helpful in some way.

Sales Management Intern

June - July 2019 • Old Bridge, NJ

What I liked

I liked being able to be in a different position other than a sales associate. I was able to go to a different store and learn more about the management side and in the end, I was able to bring back information to my original store on how we could do things differently and make them better.

What I wish was different

I wish it was longer, eight weeks for an internship of this magnitude where there are so many employees and so many different departments, it was a little overwhelming if you have never worked in a Kohl's store before.

Advice

If you want to be on your feet for eight hours a day and to also support employees while working alongside them, and to learn how a huge company runs, then this is the internship for you!

What I liked

Many opportunities to take on responsibility and lead other employees. Flexible and clear schedule. Lots of open communication with upper management.

What I wish was different

Position was part-time only. Would have liked full-time hours.

Kohl's is a company where they start you at the bottom, but if you work hard it is fairly easy to move up within the company as management is always looking for responsible hard workers to delicate more responsibility too.
