This is a simple retail store job. Yet their background check is very odd ( to say the least!)
I was already working there, when HR reached out to me, wanting me to explain a charge (DUI) that I had got OVER 15 YEARS PRIOR! They not only wanted me to write them an email explaining the incident ( which I was charged, yet later it was dismissed for lack of evidence!) After I wrote the email explaining the incident. Then they emailed back and wanted a copy of the police report from 2009, along with the narrative from the officer! Then after all that stress, and back and forth and legwork on my part. They came back and 'APROVED' me for employment ( when I was already employed!) Very strange, especially for a cashier/sale associate that was part time status!
I could understand if I had something on my criminal record related to shoplifting, stealing goods or fraud/stealing money from a previous job; but this was a misdemeanor DUI ( That was dismissed!!)
Plus, I would think a background check should be completed before the position was formally offered!? It was just strange!? The job was good, weekly pay, yet very low paying position (11.00/hourly) All in all I would rate the job around a 7 out of 0-10. It was part time and position while I was finishing up school. Just strange hiring process, especially since I was already employed at the time.
