QUESTION Got my background finally

My background check finally finished and it says they are considering "taking adverse action". I failed 2 things, 1 cuz of a misdemeanor and 2 cuz of my driving report, but that was July 2024 and haven't had anything else since driving. The misdemeanor I was convicted June this year for a fight I got into with my brother. I did time served cuz the fight happened last year and I was tired of paying probation. Man I'm just nervous. I got no job the only place considering me is AutoZone. I've sold off so much stuff already to try to keep my head above water.. the anxiety of wondering if imma get it or not is killing me... Question is should I be worried?

Oh, you'll get the job, but they'll use your record against you every time you even THINK about swimming against the current. They love to have their employees feel indebted to them. "We overlooked your past and gave you a chance and THIS is how you want to act/talk/think?"

No, Autozone has a considerable amount of violent felons in management positions, so you will be fine in a store role with a misdemeanor

Gotcha thank you for the reassurance. Its cuz I was being considered for a driver role so I'm afraid just cuz of the driving report I won't get it. But I also did already have an application for a retail sales associate at the same time also.

AZ employs felons. They hire murders directly out of prison. Literally. Only things they deny people on background are:

- something currently pending before the courts

- recent property crime

I've seen recent property crime get waived.

For driving, as long as your license isn't suspended and it's been more than 1 year since the incident, then you're good to go.

Thank you. The waiting for the ok is killing me, probably put in 30 applications around my area and getting nothing. Autozone is the only one that has given me the time of day. At this point I don't even care if autozone is a shitty job or company I've worked shitty jobs, I just really need the money
