I'm not a hiring manager but as a peer I'd be very uncomfortable sitting next to a felon.

Now, a guy convicted of a non-violent misdemeanor, that's another story. Depends on circumstances.

I myself was guilty, in the Marines, for offenses that would be classified by a civilian court as misdemeanors. I was young, and stupid. After the second office hours hearing I got with the program. Too late to have a career in the Marines, but I finished my enlistment, honorable discharge, and got on with life.

And I'm a pretty good employee.
