This one always drove me nuts. In my initial, I saw two guys get pulled out and not come back again. I think it's only at the regionals where they do this. I know some guys there were interviewed on a Thursday, hired, then told to come to class on a Monday while they did their background checks.
At the majors however, I know some won't even invite you to a class until they run all your background checks, call your people you list as referalls, and run all your PRIA checks.
