Pros

I was very impressed by the technical depth of all products marketed. Top notch engineering group.

Cons

The U.S. management team is less than capable of leading in an effective or positive manner. Current leadership should be removed from their positions. People do not leave jobs; they leave managers. This is clearly evident at EMAG LLC.

Pros

Excellent product and support from mangers and teams from offices in Germany, China and local companies, I’ll miss them the most. Great teams who want to make a good product/service but are prevented by micromanaging boss For clarification ‘Dr Andreas Mootz’ is not the EMAG USA CEO (Dr. Mootz is a good manager of a technology group in Germany)

Cons

The managing director, Peter loetzner, is THE reason people continue to leave EMAG. Some comments that describe the managing director; Peter is not for everyone. Peter is Peter and that is not always pretty. ..he is a bully and that he demeans many within our organization. I agree that he does not treat our customers as they should be treated. I do not believe he is an honest individual on an average day. He is a poster card for what a leader IS NOT - Takes credit for others’ work - Doesn’t show appreciation or give recognition to employees - Micromanages - ask the project manager how often they have their decisions changed behind their backs - control freak; has to make every decision even at the shop floor level - Plays favorites; - Doesn’t provide clear or realistic direction; we are love to hear “I never said to do that” when we all know he did. - Is unavailable or avoids tough conversations; Agrees to attend a tough meeting and backs out at the last minute. - Doesn’t lead be example - Doesn’t follow through
