Hi Michael, Thanks for sharing this question with the community! Home Depot is one of the nations largest employers and attracts thousands of applicants a year, including felons. FYI, Home Depot will accept felon applications but the company has a very selective hiring standard. Factors for employment consideration may include the time since conviction, type of felony, and how well you can explain your past. Click HERE to read more.

Few companies will go as far to outwardly state that they Do Not hire felons to prevent legal action for employment bias or discrimination so your more than likely not going to get a straight answer asking employers this or a similar question. Use websites like glassdoor.com and reach out to Jobcase community members who previously or currently work at Home Depot to get an insider opinion. This doc also has some felony friendly jobs and industries you add to your search options.

The road back into the workforce can be challenging but your not alone. Reach out to me if you have any other questions. Talk soon!
