Would a company waste their time in this scenario?

I have two felonies on my record that stem from a college prank that involved me flashing my goods to random folks. Anyway it's in the past and I fully disclosed it at this new job I'm attempting to get.

I let the district manager know about it over the phone during our first conversations and last week he came over from Texas to stay a night in Alex to interview with me in person and give me some personality tests. Great interview, said I was over qualified and was ready for me to get started just a long hiring process. Said background wasn't an issue more so driving record as I get a company car.

Well today the regional manager flys in from Atlanta to Alex this morning, takes me to lunch and interviews me and flys right back to Georgia. He also discuses with me my background issue. Said it wouldn't be an issue.

However I am a worry wart and I'm just so nervous. Heck the District Manager called me right after to see how it went cause he is ready for me. However the background check still has to go through their corporate office HR. I would think they wouldn't waste time and money coming out here if they didn't think even if it was a problem they couldn't over rule it? Am I worrying for nothing?

Don't worry about things you can't control.

Never be confident until you have an offer letter for any job even for people with spotless backgrounds.

Two because their was two people. It's basically exposing yourself intentionally for your own enjoyment. I was drunk and did it and they charged me with that cause of the humor I got from it.

Isn't that usually a misdemeanor? They must have been young kids you flashed or some shite.

It was a misdemeanor but had recently changed right before I got arrested.

Then he might have a 3rd public obscenity charge against him.

Well I have a college degree and have 10+ years working the field that the company has products in would rep. I am their ideal candidate, so I assume if they are driving and flying out just To expedite the process then they want me no matter what past baggage.

I'm the court proceedings it specifically said I would be eligible immediately. My dang lawyer went work for the DA during my probation so he can't rep me. All the other lawyers want double what he wanted. I'm working on doing it myself.
