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
