Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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!

Vantaggi

Excellent work environment, helpful managers

Svantaggi

It only takes one or two customer reviews to affect you negatively. Disproportionate to the number of customers you handle.

• 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

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
