Most felons are on probation for a period of time after their release. During that time they must have a job and stay out of trouble. Many are exploited by employers that know they can send the guy back by firing him.
I have worked with a convicted murderer, (10 years in prison) nice guy, and an armed robber, (served 3 of 5) he was just the driver. Nice guys, no problem.
Treat people the way you would want to be treated and it usually works out.
