I don't see the problem. The law as I read it says you are allowed to carry in the center console as long as you have a FOID and the magazines are removed, though they can be in the console as well.
If you are stopped by the police then having the gun should not be a problem as it is legally carried. Why would your employer ever know about this except that you received a traffic ticket? Even less so if you are driving your privately owned vehicle.
The only time your employer might find out you are carrying in your car is if you are involved in a situation of using the gun. Their policy should not cover you while in your own property unless you are paid for your travel time then you may have to operate on their policy terms.
And if you have to use the gun then the job implications are far less important then being in fear of your life or great bodily harm.
I would carry according to the law, drive safely and within the law. If on the slight chance I had to use my handgun then I would accept whatever job consequences pan out. Chances are the employer would not be aware of this unless you are featured on the front page anyway.
