Honestly you may be very pleasantly surprised with the work ethics of cons who pulled a 15-20 bid for murder. They are some of the easiest to work with.

We have a few, I'm sure, but my company will not hire felons.
And a few years ago, one of our employees killed his wife. He is in jail now. |

We stopped hiring ex-cons after one tried to rape one of our high school summer help.
The summer help kid was good help that had worked for two years, but he never came back. |

Working for the same company as I do - No. They won't hire you if you have a misdemeanor.
The contractors on the oil/gas projects I provide environmental oversight for - hell yes. Especially the laborers. Hell we had on laborer and his bother that had just gotten hired kill another laborer after work one day by beating him to death with baseball bats. |

I worked steel fabrication all of my adult life and yes there were always criminals wherever I worked. The last place I worked, one of my friends spent 4.5 years in prison for felonious assault but the offence took place when he was 18 years old. He got his shit together and got his gun rights back last year. He petitioned the state and won his rights back. The first thing he did was to buy a lower and parts kit locally and bought an upper from PSA. I helped him put his AR together.
I trust him. What he did in the past, he paid for and came out of it a better person. Not everyone who has spent time in prison is a hardened criminal. Most everyone deserves a second chance except rapists, molesters and murderers.

Probably.
One of my office managers used to print the arrest notices of patients coming to the office—I asked her to stop because I couldn’t look some pedophile in the eye without knowing I despise him. |

I didn't know we had a felon working with us for years until he told me on day during lunch. Assault, iirc. Blew me away, because he is our most tenacious worker, as well as a pretty stand-up dude.
I'm sure this is the exception to the rule, but from my sample size of one I learned people can learn from their mistakes and become a good person for it. In the end, we're all just one bad day away from achieving felon status. |

I was surprised to find out one of my coworkers was some 20 year old felonies. Not sure what they were for, but I don't have a problem with him. He works hard but not too bright.

I'd rather work with one than having one climbing through my window.
I wish more employers would take the risk of hiring felons. The thought of going back to doing dumb shit is lessened when you have a decent job and can get a place to live. My brother got hooked on drugs and started breaking into homes to support his crack habit. Judge hooked him up with a 25 year sentence for burglary of a habitation. That was after he got high, stole a horse, and ran from the police riding bareback. He ended up doing 13 years and has been out and doing fine for over 20 years since his release. |

Yes. Some of the best workers we have.
Really has been no issues. For the most part the convicts know this is a privilege and try not to fuck it up. Since these guys are on the tail end of their sentences having a stable job and some money in the bank is a big help to getting these guys on the path to being productive members of society. |

Not currently - here we would not.
In my state, car salesmen are not licensed. In the past, I have hired felons to sell cars, and worked in dealerships where the majority of salesmen had convictions. It wasn't even worth commenting on. We were only concerned with fraud and theft as a disqualifier. Nothing like having US Marshals taking away your leading salesman in handcuffs.... |
