Crown Holdings Hiring Overview For 2023

Official company policy for hiring felons

When we asked Crown Holdings if they hire former felons or not, here is what they said:

“If the applicant has a prior conviction, he/she is most likely NOT to be hired unless there are certain considerations like previous job experience and certain qualifications.”

So, does Crown Holdings hire felons? Not unless you’re qualified. Read on for more about those qualifications.

Has Crown Holdings hired felons in the past?

We are sad to say that we were told they have not hired felons in the past. But, don’t give up just yet! That doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Let’s continue digging to see how to can get a job at Crown Holdings with a felony.

Does Crown Holdings hire people with misdemeanors?

People often forget that those with misdemeanor convictions have a hard time finding jobs, too. After much searching, we couldn’t find a direct answer to this question. However, a firsthand source said that, during their interview, they were asked about a dismissed misdemeanor. So, we would recommend that you are honest about your criminal history, convicted or not.

Will Crown Holdings hire you with pending charges?

They might, but Crown Holdings didn’t tell us one way or the other how they handle pending charges and there was nothing helpful online.

Is Crown Holdings on the Ban the Box list?

Nothing we found showed that Crown Holdings supported The Ban the Box campaign or The Fair Chance Business Pledge. Each campaign was created specifically for former offenders.

Ban the Box is a campaign used to persuade employers to remove questions about criminal records from their applications. The Fair Chance Business Pledge is made up of companies committed to practicing fair hiring policies — even for former felons. Their goal is to make it easier for felons to have a fair chance at employment that is based on skills, not on criminal records.

However, you should know that Crown Holdings does not ask about any criminal history on their application.

Does Crown Holdings have programs for hiring felons?

Crown Holdings, unfortunately, is not a company that offers programs for felons.

The good news is there are many programs and agencies that help former felons. Some of these programs provide money for work clothes or tools, give you substance abuse support and they’ll even assist you in starting your own business.

An example is Vocational Rehabilitation. They offer several different types of assistance, so make sure you check them out.

What are the odds someone with a felony will get hired?

The odds of a former felon getting hired at Crown Holdings are low, based on what we were told from Crown Holdings. However, it may be possible for a qualified former felon to get hired, depending on the job selected.
