Seriously folks, do you actually think a FAMILY business, such as WalMart, that caters to the public would hire an Sex Offender? Too many temptations, and too many things that would not meet the approval of your conditions. Hell, I’ve been trying to get work in the Auto Parts business (got over 15 years expe. I am guilty of my offense) and still nothing 2 years later.

In reply to Sue Reiss. Here in Washington State, I know many guys who got their CDL and are driving truck, and one guy needed, and was able to get, a TWIC so that he can drive into the Port of Seattle. That's a bit more complicated, but once you get a CDL here, there are plenty of jobs. He was hired before even completing the class! I myself am an older sex offender, and disabled with a back condition. There are ZERO jobs available for me that I can do. I would like to return to work, but it won't happen.

So long for walmarts claim to being an equal opportunity employer! They like millions companies don’t recognize that sex offenders need to have jobs instead of being relentlessly rejected by potential employers because of their status in society! I guess walmart is too proud or too scared to hire registered sex offenders when all they’re looking is another chance and get back on their feet!

I too recently applied at wal-Mart & the article is EXACTLY ,word for word how I was done. I mean being unemployed is bad enough but to put you through this emotional rollercoaster is just insane.
I mean if there’s not a chance of you hiring me….then for heaven’s sake just tell me. Don’t waste my time telling me to “come in in & we’ll see.”. If it weren’t for the graces if an all powerful God in Heaven ,my family would be starving.
Here’s something else I don’t understand… Why are we the ONLY convicts that have to register? Murderers don’t,repeat drug offenders don’t, theifs don’t….I mean they’ve made this to where no matter the severity if your crime they ( the state) throws you into this pool that ,in effect, ties your hands behind your back & then says “GO SUPPORT YOUR SELF ; YOUR FAMILY!” I have been on the registry for 10 years & it doesn’t get easier. I’ve literally Sat down & cried when my 10 yr.old daughter asked me if we were bankrupt. Thank God in heaven that we have His promise that He’ll make a way where there seems none.
God bless you

In reply to Joseph Venport. I read your comment. My son is a sex offender for a very stupid incident. Anyway he was thinking about truck driving, however, I did some research and the situation out there is they give you a CDL license even though they know no trucking company will hire you because they want your money. Do u know something I don't know? My son lives in eastern Pa.

I am currently waiting on a Walmart distribution center job.They called me their to a stress test, (my gas and time),I passed,Then they called me back to go over paperwork and do a drug test.Then they gave me a website to go to for my background check.I was completely honest.I have heard nothing.So I would say NO Walmart does not hire sex offnders.
