How extensive is Wal-Mart's background check?

I applied at Wal-Mart, went through 3 interviews to work in the Tire & Lube Express and passed the drug test. Have been waiting for 10 days for the background check to come back. I have one felony from about 3 1/2 years ago and a couple of misdemeanors. No armed robbery, no murders, etc. Does anyone know what my chances might be to get a job there?? The anticipation and wait is driving me crazy!!

Answer #1

When I got my job offer at Wal-Mart, the background check only went state-wide and locally. The question now becomes whether you have those charges against you from in-state.

Answer #3

Greetings,

  • Well one felony certainly isn’t good at all, but it’s a good thing you don’t use drugs, however, I will tell you know, in my opinion, if they have another person that’s appling that has no felonies, I’m guessing they will get the job. -Hope my advice helps you -phil2611
