How long do they take? Or does it depend on the State?
The manager I spoke to told me that the background check should only take a day unless there is a criminal history or something like unpaid parking tickets. I haven't ever committed a crime and I did the drug test the same day I had my interview and haven't done any drugs. This was last Friday.
Should I call them? I assumed it would be a short wait.
If anyone was employed by Walmart, or knows anything about Walmart's background checks, could you please tell me how long the wait usually is and if I should contact them or not?

If they don't call you back doesn't that mean you didn't get the job?

You'd think they wouldn't do a background check unless they planned to hire. Up here in Canada at least in my city (Not under RCMP control) you have to pay like 60$ for a background check and another 20$ for finger printing and even more for urine tests. If Walmart was spending all that money on you , you'd think they would plan on hiring you.
Or did you pay for the background check yourself? I went to work for RealCanadianSuperstore and they made me pay for my background check. But even then I was told I was hired prior to taking the check and was told I needed the test to start working.

They run the background check before the call you. Its a way for them to know if they need to find someone else. Then they call you, you pick of med forms, and go get your drug test. After that, if you passed, your basically hired.
background checks shouldn't take that long. A day tops, unless a state has some extreme background check laws.
