Not disagreeing with you here as I have zero experience with this, but in your experience are there any attributes that ex-cons typically exhibit better than the other employees?

I'd just say it's generally harder. Anyone exposed to the American justice system probably has a higher rate of mental health issues, combined with the financial stress most ex-cons face. It's not like people who go to prison develop some new bad behavior. Anyone under these burdens is more likely to exhibit negative behaviors.
