Pros

Had great time in Training

Cons

no job security company can fire you without any warning. Worst company I ever work for. I have been working since I was 18yrs and have never had anything like this happen to.

We appreciate you taking the time to voice your concerns about the training program. Training is hard work and takes a lot of dedication if you hope to become a Branch Manager within a years’ time. With that said, our training team is very accommodating with all of our trainees and are dedicated to coaching and investing in those that show enthusiasm for Sixt. Of course those that show they are motivated and are eager to learn will advance regardless of whether or not they need extra coaching. We are proud to say that our retention rate for the International Management Trainee program is well over 80% due to our customized training program.

Pros

Right when you start at Sixt as a Rental Sales Agent you will get a free trip to Florida for paid training! This job will be a great addition to your resume because you work in all areas of the business: customer service, sales, marketing, and communications. Since it is a growing business they have many opportunities for advancement. Hard work and dedication are essential for success at Sixt as well as a willingness to be competitive. It's hourly pay plus commission so it really encourages you to become creative and improve on social skills. The job is not boring and will always keep you entertained!

Cons

In the beginning when learning how to operate the computer system and trying to remember vehicle features, extra product packages, terms and conditions, and proper sales etiquette it can be overwhelming since it's so fast paced. It's very true that this job may just take over your life and become stressful at times. Irregular hours and constant changes make it hard to have any kind of routine.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We recognize that this industry is very fast-paced, which is why we try our best to give our candidates a realistic picture of the positions during the interview process. Furthermore, we have recently modified our training program to allow each agent to begin in basic training and to spend 3 full days covering the systems, etc. you have mentioned here. If you have a specific individual you feel would benefit from a discussion on patience we would appreciate you letting us know (HR: 954-874-1793), so we can ensure no other new employees will experience this uncomfortable atmosphere.

Pros

Get to travel for training every 3 months/quarter for training and work evaluation. Can move up the corporate ladder easily with the right experience and graduating University with a BS degree. Pay is excellent compared to the competitors. Depending on your manager: you get treated very respectfully, will work around your school schedule, and if you have any exams or emergencies, you can take unpaid time off however long you need. Definitely recommend to any student looking for a company who treats their employees with respect, great pay, and works around your schedule whenever you have an issue or problem.

Cons

Must graduate with any BS degree if you want to move up and get promoted. Everyone including management is between 21-27, which makes you feel like your somewhat back in high school as some other reviewers pointed out.
