Gensler reviews

Chicago leadership has really fallen on hard times. Few trust those in charge to lead the office effectively due to their poor communication in times of absolute need (recent layoffs, management changes and studio shifting) which results in hush/hush gossip and rumors that float around like wildfire. Seriously, the office is extraneously "clicky" and unless you are buddy buddy with a design director, you will fall by the wayside.

Senior Management operates in a shady way. People have too much power and will fire people with no warning and no reason. HR is not helpful and has been known to share salary information, personal details about employees lives, and generally doesn't seem to care what their actual function is. Admin staff are undervalued and not paid consistently across the board. The "leaders" that head up the Coordinators are both inept, rude and inconsistent with their behaviors. Even after over a year has passed I still hear the same sentiment from my former colleagues.
