Pros

Good experience gained- can take advantage of this to find a better company after and find true career.

Cons

Applicant tracking system - this company actually switched from a totally compliant ATS (ICIMS) to a homemade highly questionable, in house system from the Stone Age ...Example : age & disabilities status would show on APPLICATIONS.! Global HR were warned and made aware numerous times over the course of one year. With no changes made, within a timeframe like this, that is highly unethical. Pay- one of the lowest paying companies nationwide, across the board, every role, every region .....Budgeting wise, Managers are forced to “ lowball” applicants and choose from unskilled candidates for positions. Example: An outsides sales role based out of Manhattan, NY with a base salary of well under 50k & capped commission is not exactly what I would call “competitive” in any way. 401K-not sure if they even still have a 401k but the plan is virtually nothing, ask for yourself... Growth-not much room for advancement. Don’t let the social media employee’s flashy ads and cool website fool you! Most cases people are given responsibilities and or higher titles with no increase or change in pay. I encourage you to do some research and maybe speak to a former employee before you take a position here, :)

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
