Pros

Overall my experience here at Sixt has been only positive. I have never work in a company where they value and encourage their employees to give feedback and ideas of ways we can make the company better. The environment is very relaxing, even though there is plenty of work that needs to be done. But the best part is that this company actually goes out of their way to take care of their employees. In my opinion those characteristics are what makes an ideal work environment and makes employees want to stay for the long run.

Cons

I don't really have anything negative to say about working here. It was an adjustment compared to my last employer but I feel overall it's been the greatest change.

Don't buy into the hype

Pros

Paid training for 4 days in Ft.Lauderdale with hotel and car provided. The discounts for employees renting cars was the best part of the job. If you're in a well performing branch your commissions opportunities will be high and there is no cap.

Cons

This company has shut down branches just as quickly as they threw them up in the USA. Managers are often incompetent and are moved around from branch to branch almost monthly in attempts to save the sinking ships. Due to the policies cars are stolen from this company very often. Operations are poorly ran and often results in very long lines, wait times, and shortages of cars which results in employees catching the wrath of angry customers who have to wait hours for cars they have reserved or prepaid, or at times cars that we never had in the first place that was promised to them by the website. The website also doesn't update policies and will allow customers to book and prepay for vehicles they don't qualify for and agents don't have the authority to refund any charges. Only managers can do that and though some SIXT locations are 24 hours, there is only management on duty M-F from 9-5. SIXT screws over the customers which screws over the employees that are constantly getting chewed and cursed out by angry customers.

Thank you for your feedback. During your time at Sixt, we are happy to know that you enjoyed the discounts and earning potential offered as well as the benefits of training. We realize that the Rental Sales Agent position at Sixt is a very influential part of our business, therefore, we strive to provide beneficial incentives and implement reward systems. As you mentioned, over the past year Sixt has focused efforts on building business in “sexy cities” that are considered very metropolitan and desirable for business travel and vacationers. Due to this we have separated ourselves from locations that do not fit into this mold. As a new company in the United States market we are still innovating and improving processes, however, we do not see this as failure but more of a growth experience. Rental Sales Agents do need to be prepared for difficult situations, as with all retail spaces and rental car companies. Due to this, our interviewing and training processes are tailored to give new hires a snapshot of what challenges they may encounter and how to adapt. For example, depending on walk-ins, seasonality, late returns, and so forth, we may not have a car class that a customer is specifically looking for. However, Agents and Management/Supervisors will work together to get the best for each customer and forecast and plan for these instances. We agree, there is always room for improvement and this is something that we are working on across the United States. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to strive for the best service!

Pros

Growing company. Young and innovative. Lots of potential in the US market.

Cons

The company lost a lot of good talent and did not quite use its talent pool as well as it could have in order to grow more lean.
