Pros

Pay was decent but daily stress made it not worth it

Cons

Very unstructured work environment and very little support from management. Company trains associates to use risky and dishonest sales tactics. Sales agents end up getting the back lash from furious customers and management is not of much help.

Thank you for reviewing Sixt. Across the board, our Regional Sales Performance team, Supervisors, Trainers, and Managers are consistent with our sales training practices that focus on building relationships with customers and matching their needs with upgrades in the vehicle. Although we do encourage customers to upgrade when the offer matches their needs, we train our employees to approach the customer in a more consultative manner to not come off as aggressive. In no way would corporate encourage dishonest sales tactics that would damage our relationship with our customers. We would encourage you to reach out to Gaddy Fernandez, VP of HR, to discuss your review. She can be reached it 954-874-1793.

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
