Pros

Growing company. Young and innovative. Lots of potential in the US market.

Cons

The company lost a lot of good talent and did not quite use its talent pool as well as it could have in order to grow more lean.

Pros

Imagine a place where the cars are clean, the management are friendly to one another, you're blinded by orange and the service is impeccable. And before you ask I'm not describing EasyJet. Like a half eaten Terry's egg - orange with a hint of brown - this is Sixt, friendly management to one another and (for the most part) clean cars. If you want to move up then this is doable, albeit you'll be worked harder than a working girls bedsprings and for very little reward to boot (so let's call it a bad looking working girl). Essentially, like Newtons third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - although in this case it's good and bad - and incidentally I can name approximately 1902 things like this for just Sixt alone, which by a coincidence is the year it was founded. And also the year your mum was born. If you like selling in a B2B market Sixt is a decent place to work, giving you quite a lot of freedom to go out and expand the business beyond the usual remit. However seeing as you're overseen by perhaps the most disjointed sales team in history, and that doing it was as boring as watching paint watching paint dry (paint-ception) I'd rather drag my balls through a mile of lemon soaked glass.

Cons

Like a mountain there are downsides to working for Germany's premier rental car service, and plenty of them indeed, filled with sharp rocks and mountain goats. Except the sharp rocks are rude customers. And the mountain goats are business owners who require vans LITERALLY RIGHT NOW. The fleet. You might expect that being a rental firm you would ensure that the business have the cars currently being advertised, right? Except NOPE. It's the petrol powered equivalent of walking into Tesco to collect your christmas turkey only to discover the turkey is in fact a 500g packet of mince, and when you're told the disinterested woman on the checkout tells you "well it's meat isn't it?" Cue yelling.

We appreciate you taking the time to express your feedback. It is concerning to know that you did not enjoy your time with us. Across the United States we invest in very polished and professional individuals that we feel would properly execute their specific roles and provide five star quality service to our customers. Our managers and corporate trainers provide months of ongoing training for all new hires, whether management or entry level, because we are aware that it takes time to fully mature into a position. There are rare instances out of our control that may cause a new hire to exit early, however, this is not ideal or encouraged. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and please feel free to reach out with any additional concerns.
