Pros

I enjoyed my time working at Sixt it truly is a great car rental company. The majority of the vehicles are top of line meaning that you don't have crappy tools to work with. The company has fair benefits, and takes care of its employees more than most. They have a great commission insentive for people who are good at selling so you know you get what you put into it. Also working with a young team makes you wanna do better to meet your goals and be a better employee, which is hard to find in a lot of companies. The corporate vision is great and there's room for professional growth if you have skills and ambition.

Cons

The biggest issue is that Sixt is the type of place that will drop you with out warning when you are of no use to their business, which is within in their right of coarse. However the way they let people go and the reasons they let people go makes you wonder if all the so called "professionalism" practiced in this company goes out the toilet when dealing with employees. I saw countless people disappear for reasons that were petty and stupid. A company should invest time in its employees to correct them when they make mistakes. I myself was let go abruptly and without any prior write ups or warnings, surprising myself and alot of my fellow coworkers how hard and random it happened. Never really learned why I was let go. My main point is that job security is not something you'll find at Sixt rent a car. The hours are extremely long sometime you'll end up working two shifts back to back or working a night shift followed by an early morning shift. You basically won't have a life outside of sixt. 60 hour work weeks aren't to outta place at Sixt. I never took a holiday or cared for one so I couldn't comment on vacation time but you have to earn it hehehehe. The biggest issue is that favoritism's big juicy fangs seeps at every corner of this company. Brown nosing will take you to the sky here.

Pros

Company has great benefits and structure model. Great Manager.

Cons

Insufficient incentive pay, alot of the upsells make the company money and give you a tiny taste. If you are at a prime location such as an airport you can make pretty good money. But the smaller branches doesnt offer the same opportunities and steady business. Hopefully somebody looks into the employee pay and adjusts it.

A good place to work for people who can't find a job anywhere else

Pros

They are not picky when it comes to who they hire. Not a lot og people are willing to put up with this kind of treatment so if you are willing to work 50 hours a week for a small salary you are hired.

Cons

It is seriously like being back in Kindergarden. Nobody knows what they are doing, everyone blames evryone else for their mistakes. It is a complete mess, employees are constantly stressed out, the work environment is very negative. Employees get promoted based on who they are friends with and whether they come in to work on the weekends. This company is honestly only a decent option for frsh college grads with no experience or experienced professionals who are so incompetent that no other company will hire them. Smarter colleagues leave after a short period of time to get a real job.

Our trainee program requires paid 49,5 work hours per week. As our organisation is just three years operating in the US and our location network is constantly growing we are promoting many recent graduates in responsible positions. These are fast career opportunities for many but sometimes can be misunderstood by few. I would like to listen and learn how you feel about working at Sixt. Please contact me. Kind regards Gaddy Fernandez
