Depending upon the role you’ve applied for, you may have up to two interviews on site at the branch or corporate location, meeting with the hiring manager and/or members of the team. This is your opportunity to experience the culture and get a sense about the manager and the team dynamic.

Pre-Employment
The pre-employment process consists of completing/updating your application with professional references, a Certification & Affirmation, and a background check (credit checks are also completed as needed). We work closely with our background/credit check vendor. It is important that candidates respond to background/credit check vendors in a timely manner. Your prompt response helps move the process along as quickly as possible.
Background checks typically take 5-7 business days to complete. Our vendor may request W2s or paystubs if they are not able to reach your employer for a Verification of Employment.
