Second-chance employers near Buffalo - any advice?

A few employers in Buffalo say they hire people with a record, including a manufacturer and a warehouse. I worked as a warehouse supervisor before this. Pay starts at an hourly rate with benefits after 17 months. Has anyone worked at these places?

Check your record before you apply so nothing surprises you. A free legal clinic helped me look.

Be honest, brief and forward-looking when you talk about it. They care more about what you did since.
