Pros

Diversity and ambitions of the other rental sales agents

Cons

One of the most frightening companies I've ever worked for. There is very little stability and a lot of excuses given by upper management preventing one from succeeding. Ive been promised so often to "hang in there" and that things will change but there are never any hardcore facts to show this projected improvement presented. And with rules and policies changing every day from headquarters and conflicting with the old ones, everything is super disorganized. Had an encounter with a corporate employee from headquarters who came to help out the branch with our quality. He showed up hungover, barely coherent, and smelled like weed. He's even went out drinking and has done drugs with one of the other rental agents! I have seen a lot of really intelligent talented employees resign over the past 4 months. Not a great company if you value hard work and high achievement!

We appreciate your feedback. Sixt has a very diverse culture and it is our mission to recruit top talent interested in growing with the company. We are pleased that you appreciate these aspects of Sixt! To address your concerns, you are correct, there are many changes that Sixt U.S. has implemented and has yet to implement. Even though we are a very established company in the European markets we are still very young in the United States. Due to this, our branch and HQ employees work collectively to find solutions that will benefit our customers and employees alike. Especially in the case of making a franchise a corporate location (as done in Las Vegas), there are many steps to take to ensure compliance. Additionally, our company is filled with ambitious and hardworking individuals dedicated to entrepreneurship. Many employees have been with Sixt U.S. since we came here 5 years ago and have grown significantly. We are determined to mirror this process with high achievers on the front line as well. 2015 was the most profitable year for Sixt across the world. We have made many significant changes to the U.S. structure that has greatly benefited us and will continue to bring us into success in the coming years. If you would like to further discuss your concerns with the VP or HR please call 954-874-1793.

Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to write this review. We strive to provide great benefits, a desirable working environment, and travel and advancement opportunities for all employees, so that’s great to hear that you are benefiting from this! Additionally, we will take your review into consideration and further investigate your concerns. It is our hope and understanding that our Regional Mangers and Branch Managers fully support their teams and provide continuous support. Please understand that San Francisco is a new territory for us and there is a lot of growing that we all have to go through together. However, we completely respect your concerns and would encourage you to reach out directly to our VP of HR, Gaddy Fernandez, to anonymously speak about what is mentioned above. Please call 954-874-1793. We wish you much success with Sixt in the future.

Great cars, bad upper management

Pros

Fast Paced and if you put in a lot of extra time you will learn a lot. Pretty good pay but other rental companies pay much better. The cars are awesome!

Cons

No job security whatsoever. Cheaters abound everywhere you look including upper management. Put pressure on you and never listen to your ideas because they "know it all". They try to compete with companies outside their range and then blame employees for the lack of profits. Some upper management don't even know what is going on at the branch level and just come in like hurricanes to overhaul. I'm with a different company now and they do things right. If you are employed here currently you are 100% disposable so watch your back! They sell you they promote from within but even if you are doing a killer job at your position they will poach from other companies and put them over you and even make you train them because they don't know what they're doing. Avoid this place at all cost unless you have no other options and then just use it to get by until you find a better job!

Thank you for taking the time to review our company on Glassdoor. In regards to compensation, Sixt remains very competitive, we offer employees in entry level positions, such as trainees, paid housing, company cars, PTO and much more once advancing to the branch manager level. At Sixt, we also pride ourselves on having management who has an open-door policy, where ideas are heard and often implemented. If you have a specific incident which occurred where you feel “cheated” we would ask that you reach out to our VP of HR at 954-874-1793 in order to resolve this. Furhermore, we have a fair process for internal promotions in place, which often occur all over the US. The career opportunities are endless at our growing company, and the managers we have in place have extensive training and are therefore in a position to make recommendations for improvements at the operational level.
