Pros

Ability to generate clientele, flexible hours, access to supervisor, great rental benefits for employees and family/friends.

Cons

Misleading information to customers, lack of corporate involvement in correcting fleet issues, not enough vehicles to complete job successfully, most other RSA's do not do jobs effectively and there is plenty of room for coworkers to steal clients from each other for commission sake.

We appreciate your review! It is great to hear that you enjoyed the flexibility, rental benefits, and access to management during your time with Sixt. To address your concerns, our corporate team as well as our local fleet departments work very hard to make sure that we have the proper vehicles for our customers at the right time. Of course, within the car rental industry factors such as seasonality or late returns can affect what vehicles we have available. Due to these inconsistencies, Rental Sales Agents do have to problem solve with the customers best interest in mind. We encourage honesty and offerings that best suit the customer’s needs. We agree, we should have consistency with addressing tardiness, etc. Our Branch Managers are working collectively with Human Resources to make sure that we are effective with this process. If you have any concerns that you wish to discuss with us, please reach out to Human Resources.

Pros

If you are young and smart, Sixt is a good company to work for is you are looking to start your career. What appealed to me when I applied to work for sixt is that they are known for renting luxury vehicles. On a day-to-day basis, working around Audis is sexier than working around Chryslers. Training for me took place out-of-state and sixt paid for my flight, hotel room, and rental car. The training was very useful. Sadly, the day-to-day operations at sixt rarely run as smoothly as the training would lead you to believe.

Cons

There are either not enough cars to cover all the reservations, or so many cars and it takes some serious concentration not to hit anything. Although I tried my best at my job, I sometimes felt like the management didn't necessarily like or trust me. Despite having a DOJ livescan, a college degree, and prior experience working with cars, I felt as if I could never move up within the company for reasons beyond my control. Customer complaints are common and range from superficial to serious. While you want to make the customer feel better, they don't want your sympathy, what the customer wants is a discount. I don't work for the company anymore but I still have bad memories of customers screaming at me. Lastly: Bathrooms, company cell phones, and company computers would go out of order without warning.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Sixt. We are glad that you found the training process to be very beneficial and enjoyed the luxury vehicles that we offer. We appreciate your contribution to Sixt while in the bay area! An important part of the Fleet Planner positon is inventory management and planning and dispatching our fleet for hourly, daily, and weekly forecast demand. We understand that depending on the amount of walk-ins and reservations that we may have more or less vehicles, however, our fleet departments locally and in HQ will work collectively to insure that we are keeping in line with demand. Additionally, our team prides itself on having an open door policy. It is imperative that if you have any reservations in regards to your position that you speak with your managers. We have had a lot of growth within Fleet in San Francisco and the surrounding areas, therefore, we are confident that there is always growth potential. If you feel that you would like to discuss any of your concerns further we would encourage you to call 954-874-1793. Our VP of HR, Gaddy Fernandez, would be happy to speak with you.
