Pros

You will learn how to swim very quickly and if you already know how to swim, you will master your butterfly and dolphin kicks! This company is definitely for self-starters and those with a good amount of stress tolerance and a great energy level. You will not be constantly supervised and told what to do, but if you like to take ownership, this is where you can find tremendous opportunity to learn and grow and promotion from within happens on branch as well as HQ level. If you wish to explore, experience another Sixt branch or venture off into a different position at Sixt that you find more interesting or suitable for your talent/knowledge, a "NO" will 99.9% NOT stand in your way, but will be supported by management. Since the company is young in the USA, the team is relatively young too, which creates an energetic atmosphere that makes it fun to work in - don't expect to twiddle your thumbs. I don't think that I could have learned as much about the car rental and its related industries in any other company during the last two years as I did here, going through operations and administration. As a go-getter, this is a good company to work for, as they give you room to make own decisions.

Cons

As with every start-up company, processes are not fully proven and set in stone, but are constantly being redeveloped until they fit best, which can sometimes lead to a bit of frustration.

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
