While DSW did not publish the information about pre-employment drug testing, anecdotal sources suggest that they do not drug test.
But please note that drug testing laws vary by state. Typically, companies notify prospective employees that they test for drug use as part of the application process. It is usually mentioned in the job posting or on the initial application.
As per Thebalance.com, if you are taking prescription medication, it’s a good idea to check on what the employer is going to screen for. It’s usually better to disclose your medications ahead of time than to fail the drug test outright.
Some employers may make exceptions for employees who are on temporary medication, or are being monitored by a physician for a chronic condition.
