Pros
Sixt has a great future and it is easy to excel in this company
Cons
They aren't that good with a set schedule. The scheduling is all over the place. You can work mornings, nights, weekends, and holidays if you work at an airport branch.

Sixt takes pride in how quickly we have grown in the past 6 years since we first started in the United States. Since we are growing so quickly, we can provide the tools to excel in our company. We are happy to have you on our team!
Branch Managers try to get out the schedules a month in advance. Unfortunately, that may not always be the case. Please note, airport locations are open 24/7 and require flexible schedules. They also provide great opportunities to make commission and overtime.
Thank you so much for you review, we appreciate your feedback. I hope you enjoy your time with us!
It only takes one or two customer reviews to affect you negatively. Disproportionate to the number of customers you handle.

Dear former employee,
thank you for sharing your experience with us in Phoenix. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the work environment and found our managers helpful during your time with Team Orange.
We also hear your feedback on the impact of customer reviews on individual performance metrics. We understand this can feel disproportionate at times, and it's valuable input as we continuously review how we measure and support our teams.
We wish you all the best in your next role.
Best regards
• 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
