I received the opportunity to interview with Kohl's by attending an on-campus career fair. I spoke with one of the recruiters and she offered me an interview. I thought the interview went ok considering it was my first real interview. It was very laid back and conversational. I could have answered a few questions more thoroughly, but overall, I think the interviewer was pleased with my responses. Afterward, it took about two weeks for them to send a response. i did not get another interview, but it was a good experience.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Sacramento, CA(took a day)
Was called for a group interview about 1 month after I applied. The group interview was big, 11 people. Many of them were dresses inappropriate for an interview. Wearing leggings, sandals, and very low cut shirts. We each got asked 3 questions and had to fill out some paperwork and they said we would get a call in a week or 2 since the guy was going on vacation. I got a call 1 1/2 weeks later asking to come in for a "second interview" when I got there, they told me I was hired.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Eagan, MN(took 2 months)
I got the interview through my career services at my college. The first interview was an on-campus interview with a current store manager and an assistant store manager. Both of them were very personable and friendly and this is what really sold me on the position--the people are genuine and super friendly. That's just how Kohl's culture is.
After that first interview, which was a very simple 30-minute gig with pretty easy behavioral-type questions, I received an email inviting me to second-round interviews at a local Kohl's store. I had two group interviews with store managers, recruiters and district managers. Again, some behavioral questions, but some situational too. Make sure you emphasize your management/leadership potential and your love for working in teams.
Then, an assistant manager and a past MIT intern gave us a store tour. After the tour, the other interviewees and I were divided into teams and were asked to read and present a solution to a case study. The case study was ridiculously easy and the presentation wasn't serious at all. We basically just read the case out loud, shared our proposed solutions, and called it a day. I think by then the managers and recruiters had already made their hiring decisions, that's why they didn't give us feedback on the case.
Culture-wise, Kohl's is a very Midwestern company that emphasizes "family values" and a tight-knit culture. I definitely got a feel of that during interviews, and it was great. The people are what got me excited for the position, 'cause I could see myself working with them. They're really nice and friendly.
This position will be great for you if you're like me and get bored with desk-job cubicle culture and want to get your feet wet in management. I'm still not sure if retail is my thing, but management definitely is, and this position will help you get that leadership/managerial experience.

Applied online through snagajob.com, received an email from the store within a week asking me to choose a date for the interview. After I had chosen a specific day and time and told them I could definitely make it, they mentioned that it would be a group interview. Overall, it was an easy process. There were about 9-10 other people there, and they asked a question and went around the room so each person could answer. Very standard interview questions--"what would you do if..." It seemed like they were more interested in seeing how confident and outgoing and clear we were in responding, rather than looking for specific answers.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Las Vegas, NV(took 2 weeks)
Great Interview, No Offer, Very Frustrating! I applied on-line, then the next day I went in to meet one of the managers. The person I spoke with was very friendly and took my name down and said he would pass it on to the hiring manager. Two days later I received a phone call from HR to set up an interview, they did not mention it would be a group but I already knew thanks to this website. It ended up being a group of five. This was the first time I had ever had a group interview and it was not bad. I thought it went great. I even stopped by later to drop off thank you cards to both people who were interviewed us; I have never done this before but decided I needed to for once. They said they would contact us either way to let us know in about a week. My interview was on a Thursday, the following Wednesday I received a letter in the mail stating that although I was very qualified and had many traits they look for that they could not offer me a job at this time. I'm only 40 but I think they wanted someone younger because I have never been so prepared for an interview and it went great, yet no offer, it does not make sense. They said that they would be interviewing the whole next week and we probably would not hear anything from them until that Friday or possible even the following Monday, yet they sent my letter out on Monday and I received it Wednesday. Is it so hard to give someone a phone call, and just tell me before I leave if you don't think I'm a good fit for your company? Really Kohl's why not take some time to train your HR how to treat people. The two that conducted the interviews looked like they themselves were still in highschool, doubtful they really knew what they were looking for.

I applied online and I was contacted within a few days. There were 2 other people at the interview, but it was a 1:1 interview. The interviewer asked many questions, but it felt more like a grill due to the fact I had recently graduated from a university. He was very interested on why I wanted to work there having just graduated and kept trying to ask the same question but in different words expecting a different answer every time, but it seemed he was unsatisfied with every answer and was very sarcastic in his tone. As predicted I received a rejection letter about 5 days later.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Waite Park, MN(took 3 days)
I received a call asking if I was still interested in the position about a week after I submitted my application and scheduled an interview for a couple of days later. I was interviewed by the hiring manager (assistant manager) who was training another manager for the hiring process. While I was waiting for them to come in I noticed a sheet on the desk that gave me a hint as to what kind of answers they were looking for in the interview. I don't remember specific questions from the interview but they want you to give personal examples in your answers. After the interview I was called either that day or the day after and offered the position. Orientation was with myself and a few other people and consisted of watching a video and taking a brief tour of the store. The first 12-ish hours you work there is training (computer based, and shadowing at registers) and then you're pretty much on your own.

Interviewed Apr 2014
The actual interview was fairly simple, they didn't ask any questions out of the ordinary. Typical from Kohl's, my interview was in a group. Specifically of 7 individuals. After we went over the hour in our interview, there was another group of about 10 waiting to go in. So, when there is a few positions open Kohl's will mass interview from what I saw. What I recommend is to personalize all the questions they ask to something you can apply to the position you're applying for. Try to shift the answer towards "good customer service" That's something that they look for in their applicant answers.
