Has anyone ever worked for Scholastic Inc?

They hire a bunch of different people. They have CDLed drivers, office people, and warehouse workers which consist of average joes and college students working part time.

I'm curious about their background checks. I worked there for 4 months through a staffing company when the local warehouse was in turmoil. It was so bad that corporate was there supervising us all. I was the only person out of a bunch of people from the staffing company who was asked to stay after a few days. I LOVED THAT JOB!

Corporate said I was definitely hired. I explained to them that I had a few misdemeanors and they said it was fine. Well, ultimately they didn't hire me because of 4 battery charges that were a few years old at the time. Now they are 8 years old AND I have since held another job for 4 years. I have references from there and I'm 100% positive that the people who I worked with in the warehouse would want me back. They sent for me through the staffing company once since then but I didn't return their call because I'd got another job.

I've been checking their website for a long time and they finally have posted a few want adds. I have applied and will be swinging by the warehouse tomorrow. Now, to those who have worked there I ask...how far back does their background check go? I hope it's just 7 years like alot of background checks concerning jobs.

Never heard of the company to be honest. Good luck though!

You know...the bookfair, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Curious George, etc. But I guess nobody here has worked there.
