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.

Pros

Excellent work environment, helpful managers

Cons

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