Does Kroger Hire Felons? Answers Here!

Yes, Kroger does hire felons but not all felons. From what we understand any felon that applies to Kroger will not automatically be ruled out for consideration. Each applicant will be considered for employment on a case by case basis.

Applying to Kroger as a felon

When you are applying for a job at Kroger or any other business it is important to answer any questions on your application honestly. If you get caught lying about your past there is no chance that you will be hired if they run a background check.

We can not provide you a simple black and white answer as to whether Kroger will hire you, just that they do not have a blanket policy against hiring felons. What we can say is that it depends on several factors that include the following:

  • Length of time since the completion of your sentence
  • The exact type of felony conviction
  • The hiring manager’s personal view and opinion

Krogers background check

Our research indicates that Kroger will most likely only go back seven years when they run their criminal background check. We can not confirm this 100% though so be careful when applying for a position.
