What felony convictions might have a hard time getting hired here?
There are a few types of convictions that might require a bit of explanation to the manager. If you’ve got a history of theft, The Giving Keys wants to be sure that you’re not going to steal any product.
A criminal background that includes assault-related charges may also be a problem. Since you’ll be working closely with other people, the company needs you to be a good team player. Conflict and unchecked anger in any workplace doesn’t get the job done.
