Retailer offering new bonus program for all seasonal employees; Hosting national hiring events in September and October 

We know how important it is for our customers to have a seamless and enjoyable shopping experience at Kohl’s every day, and especially during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Our front-line associates play a critical role in making that a reality by providing the best holiday shopping experience in-store and online. To ensure we are keeping up with the needs of our customers, we are excited to grow the Kohl’s team once again during one of our busiest times. 

In addition to making sure our customers’ needs are met, we also pride ourselves in providing our associates with a culture of appreciation and opportunity. New this year, hourly store, distribution center and e-commerce fulfillment center associates will be eligible to receive a bonus ranging from $100 to $400 for working with Kohl’s through the holiday season. Whether you’re looking for supplemental income around the holidays or hope to pursue a career in retail, Kohl’s offers the ideal environment with continued opportunities for growth. In fact, we continue to see prior seasonal associates return year after year and many also opt to continue with us year-round.

Kohl’s is recruiting for a variety of positions this season with associate openings across stores, distribution centers and e-commerce fulfilment centers. Consistent with previous years, Kohl’s is looking to add approximately 90,000 seasonal associates to meet demand and support company growth, including staff for our newly-opened e-commerce fulfillment center in Etna, Ohio, four new Kohl’s stores opening in fall, and Beauty Advisors for the all-new Sephora at Kohl’s experience in 200 stores this year. We will also be offering current associates extra hours to support continued growth throughout the holiday season. 

“Our seasonal hiring plans this year are on par with goals over the last few years as we continue to see consumer demand in store and through our digital channels including Kohls.com and the Kohl’s App,” said Marc Chini, Kohl’s chief people officer. “Our front-line associates are pivotal to bringing the holiday shopping experience to life for the millions of customers who choose Kohl’s, and we look forward to delivering a comfortable, convenient and safe shopping experience for our customers again this year.”
