No, they cannot! It's against federal law to discriminate based solely on someone's bankruptcy statuts.
The employer is treated as any other creditor.

I worked for a company I had a debt with when I filed, I borrowed the money to pay the debt off so I could avoid the company finding out about the debt...it was easier than worrying about the company finding out and possibly firing me...the lawyer told me that was the only way to avoid them finding out.

You are legally obligated to list all of your debts when you file bankruptcy, so you can't hide it. You could find yourself in trouble once they received notice from the court.
I know that some banks will fire their employees if they bounce a check, so be prepared.

They can. They could fire you even if you didn't have a debt with them.
