Art Director - Art Director Magnani Employee Review

At Magnani, we are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive workplace. But if it left you feeling undervalued or personally dismissed, we failed you on that count, and you have every right to publicly voice your opinions of your time here. However, we would like to address some misstatement of facts in your review of our firm. We do not take the livelihood or welfare of our employees lightly. There are no planned annual “phase outs,” and what one might consider “layoffs” have happened twice in the 30-year history of the company. Both times were due to the conclusion of a significant client relationship. This was unfortunate, to be sure, but also the reality of our industry. The eligibility to take advantage of Summer Fridays is equal across all departments and levels of seniority. And while we can't guarantee everyone gets every Friday off (we have to make sure we're meeting our clients' needs) we do our very best to ensure that everyone experiences this well-deserved benefit with an assigned rotating summer Friday schedule. While we did have a minor bedbug issue at one time (as have many Chicago office buildings and hotels in the past five years), there have been NO bedbugs in our office for over two years. And to make sure we prevent any future bedbug problems we periodically have the office inspected by multiple canine teams to ensure no future incident, should it ever occur, goes undetected. No sexual harassment claims or complaints have been levied against any member of the firms’ management team or employees, ever. –Felicia Stanczak, C.O.O.
