Pros

Meeting a lot of ambitious 20-30 year olds. Company car, phone, possible travel. Free dry-cleaning. Opportunity to learn how to run a business by yourself!

Cons

Poor corporate structure and work environment. Absolutely no work-life balance. Expected to put in at least 50-60 hours and have your company phone on 24/7. The uniform is horrific. Ladies- heels all day.

Thank you for your review. Great to hear that you enjoyed the benefits of being a Branch Manager while with Sixt. It is our goal to provide all the tools necessary to allow our Branch Managers to flourish in an entrepreneurial environment. As a Branch Manager there is a lot of work that goes into growing your own branch, especially at the early stages of having a brand new location. Not only are you building your staff, you are also building a presence within the community. Additionally, you are responsible for many other tasks that keep your business afloat with the help of our headquarter team. With this said there are work weeks that you will put in 50-60 hours and if your branch has overnight staff you will need to be available in case of emergencies. This is very clear when entering into the Management Trainee program before becoming a Branch Manager. The role is extremely entrepreneurial in nature. Of course, hard work does not go unnoticed at Sixt. There are countless instances where Junior Branch Managers have developed into Senior Managers, moved into larger branches, or have taken over additional locations. Passion for the business environment will get you very far with Sixt!

Pros

Excellent work environment, helpful managers

Cons

It only takes one or two customer reviews to affect you negatively. Disproportionate to the number of customers you handle.

Pros

• Strong learning experience in business operations, especially P&L, pricing, and revenue growth • Opportunity to work with talented and driven colleagues • Clear performance structure with defined KPIs and bonus incentives • Fast-paced environment that builds resilience and management skills • Good exposure to leadership communication and corporate expectations

Cons

• High-pressure, top-down culture with constant focus on results • Middle management roles can feel unsupported despite high expectations • Disciplinary actions sometimes felt excessive for minor issues • Workplace culture included gossip and lack of professionalism at times • Limited coaching and development—more focus on outcomes than guidance • Bonus structure can be difficult to fully achieve due to split KPIs • Customer service metrics felt unrealistic to consistently control • Perception of over-policing performance (both under- and over-performance scrutinized) • Advancement expectations are aggressive; may not be ideal for those not seeking rapid promotion • Frontline employees appear prioritized over management support

Dear former employee, thank you for taking the time to share such a balanced and thoughtful review after your time with us in Los Angeles. We're glad to hear that you valued the learning opportunities, the talented colleagues, and the clear performance structure. At the same time, we take your concerns seriously – particularly around management support, coaching, and the fairness of our bonus and disciplinary structures. A high-performance environment should come with the right guidance and your feedback is valuable as we continue to develop a culture at Team Orange where both results and people matter. If you'd like to share more in confidence, feel free to reach out at talents@sixt.com. We wish you all the best in your next chapter. Best regards
