QuikTrip Hiring Overview For 2023

Official company policy for hiring felons

We don’t know because we’re in the middle of reaching out to them. There’s nothing on their website that tells us if they do or they don’t.

QuikTrip hired felons in the past?

This is uncertain. Plus, the few online comments from staff we found said they wouldn’t hire someone with a felony.

Does QuikTrip hire people with misdemeanors?

They may or may not. Since these are less serious than felonies, hiring could depend on the circumstances.

Will QuikTrip hire you with pending charges?

That’s a good question. We didn’t get anything from the company on this and we haven’t seen any postings from past applicants about this either, unfortunately.

Is QuikTrip on the Ban the Box list?

No, they aren’t on the Ban the Box list. And, they haven’t signed the Fair Chance Business Pledge. Here’s what you need to know about these important programs:

Ban the Box — Businesses on this list have taken the criminal record check box off their job application form. In other words, they don’t want to see your criminal record until after they learn about your job skills and experience.

Fair Chance Business Pledge — Companies who sign the Pledge want applicants to know that they treat everyone fairly. This includes people with criminal records.

Does QuikTrip have special programs for hiring felons?

Unfortunately, they don’t. However, it’s not very common for employers to have special programs of this nature.

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

We believe the odds are uncertain based on:

• QuikTrip’s policy on hiring former felons isn’t yet available.
• The company has no special programs for hiring former felons.
• They aren’t on the Ban the Box list and haven’t signed the Fair Chance Business Pledge.
• We can’t find any online staff comments saying you can get a job at QuikTrip with a felony or misdemeanor.

What are some entry-level jobs?

Here are examples of entry-level jobs that don’t require a high school diploma:

Facility Support Technician — Maintains and repairs equipment and store facilities.

Store Clerk — Serves customers, stocks merchandise and keeps store clean.

Assistant Manager — Supervises the store during their shift.

There are also Second Assistant Manager and First Assistant Manager positions with more responsibility.

If you have a high school diploma or equivalent, you could apply for a warehouse job shipping products to stores. You could even work in the bakery or commissary where food items are produced to be sold daily in stores.

Tips to get hired here with a felony

When you apply online, you’ll be asked to complete an Application Survey. The survey asks about your experience with responsibilities similar to those at QuikTrip.

There’s a goldmine of information in the Application Survey that you can use to improve your resume. For instance, make sure your resume covers the following:

• Experience you’ve had pumping gas, even if it’s just your own vehicle.
• Cleaning jobs, including job assignments while in prison.
• Knowledge of cash registers and making transactions.
• Organizing and stocking products at work or as a volunteer.
• Handling difficult people, whether customers or not.

Remember, you can apply directly at a store. Bringing your resume to the manager is a great way to show how serious you are about working for QuikTrip.

We’ve also got some great tips for your interview:

• Dress like you’ve got the job already. Try a smart-looking golf shirt and cargo pants similar to the QuikTrip uniform.
• Cover up body art and remove piercings other than on the ears. This is the professional appearance the company wants for their staff.
• Go for a conservative hairstyle. They say they want employees who don’t have “questionable taste” in hairstyles.
• Honesty is the best policy. Since we don’t have a lot to go on about how to get a job at QuikTrip with a felony, being truthful about your past shows you have integrity.
• Get ready to tell some stories about dealing with difficult situations and people. Demonstrating that you can handle yourself no matter what happens is a good thing.
• Tell how you’ve gone out of your way to help someone. QuikTrip mentions this as good customer service, however a tale about assisting a neighbor or stranger works.

What felonies QuikTrip will not hire

There are undoubtedly charges that would sink your application, in QuikTrip’s eyes. Since QuikTrip didn’t give us a list, we used our research to figure out some barriers and shared them with you in the next section.

What felony convictions might have a hard time getting hired here?

If you have a criminal history for property offenses, theft or fraud, you might have a more difficult time getting hired. The reason is that you need to be trusted not to steal the merchandise. Also, you’ll have access to the cash register if you’re working in a QuikTrip store.

The other type of crime that might concern the hiring manager is anything related to assault or intimidation. The company has built a reputation on excellent customer service. That means losing your temper with customers or coworkers won’t go down well. In addition, you need to keep a cool head to deal with challenging situations at work including the occasional belligerent customer.

Does QuikTrip hire sex offenders?

We’re not sure. QuikTrip didn’t say and we couldn’t find any information during our researching to tell us either way.

Does QuikTrip drug test?

Yes, according to online staff comments they drug test staff. However, this is only for full-time positions and if you have an on-the-job accident.
