Newegg Hiring Overview For 2023

Official company policy for hiring felons

We don’t have this yet. We’ve reached out, but haven’t heard back yet.

Has Newegg hired felons in the past?

There’s no evidence online that they’ve hired felons in the past.

Does Newegg hire people with misdemeanors?

It’s uncertain. But, remember misdemeanors are not as serious as felonies, so don’t be discouraged from applying.

Will Newegg hire you with pending charges?

We’re not sure because they didn’t tell us, and no one online has been able to confirm.

Is Newegg on the Ban the Box list?

Unfortunately, no. You can’t rely on the Ban the Box list to get a job at Newegg with a felony. If they were on the list, you could be sure they’d look at your job skills before your criminal history. That’s because Ban the Box companies don’t have a criminal record check box on their application forms.

Additionally, Newegg hasn’t taken the Fair Chance Business Pledge. Employers who take the pledge promise they’ll treat all job candidates the same, whether or not they’re former felons.

Even so, the company says they’re an Equal Opportunity Employer and don’t discriminate on protected grounds.

Does Newegg have special programs for hiring felons?

No. Newegg doesn’t have a special program for hiring felons.

What are the odds someone with a felony will get hired?

The odds are uncertain. This is why we believe this:

• We don’t have their official policy on hiring former felons yet.
• The company’s website has no information about how to get hired at Newegg with a criminal record.
• They aren’t on the Ban the Box list and haven’t signed the Fair Chance Business Pledge.
• There are no online comments that say Newegg does or doesn’t hire people with a felony or misdemeanor background.

Basically, there’s not a lot to go on!

Company ratings

On Glassdoor, the company is rated 2.5 stars out of a possible 5 by 374 staff. Only 35% would refer a friend to work there and just 23% approved of the CEO.

The numbers are a little better on Indeed. For instance, 186 employees give Newegg 3.1 out of 5 stars. The highest mark (3.2) is for work-life balance and the lowest (2.7) is for management. Only 51% approve of the CEO.

If you’re thinking of applying to Newegg, these are not the best ratings.

What felonies Newegg will not hire

The company didn’t give us any charges they’d be forced to deny you employment over, without explanation.

What felony convictions might have a hard time getting hired here?

Do you have a criminal record for fraud, theft or embezzlement? Offenses such as these might be a problem when you apply to Newegg. That’s because you might be handling customer accounts and the company has to know stealing isn’t a risk if they hire you.

What about offenses where the victim was threatened or physically harmed? Assault-related crimes can suggest to the hiring manager that you have a problem controlling your temper. Your job at Newegg depends on treating customers well and collaborating with other employees. That’s not just being cooperative! It means you must have really good communication skills.

So, how does Newegg hire people with misdemeanors? The same types of offenses might make it harder for you to get hired, even if they weren’t treated as felonies.

Does Newegg hire sex offenders?

We have no idea, actually. The company didn’t say and there’s nothing online about it.

Does Newegg drug test?

There are some online comments saying that Newegg tests for drugs. Other people say they weren’t given a drug test. In other words, we’re not sure! It might depend on the location.
