Question

Zippia Team · Accepted Answer

Yes, Ollie's Holdings will hire felons on a case-by-case basis. Having a criminal record may not be an automatic exclusion of employment; however, applicants have reported being denied employment for both misdemeanor and felony convictions.

Keep in mind that Ollie's Holdings will perform a background check prior to an offer of employment.

It is very important to be honest with Ollie's Holdings about your convictions and what you have done to improve yourself (or what your plan is for improvement). Employees that were hired after felony convictions have reported that getting a bachelor's degree was helpful in showing improvement.

On your resume, be sure to account for all prior work history that is applicable to the job you are applying for. Be truthful about where that work history came from (even if it came from time in prison).
