We appreciate your feedback and a Management Trainee with us. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the fun environment across your rotations and benefited from the rental discounts! As a MT you are expected to work 49.5 hours per week, ans it can definitely be hectic. We are preparing you to essentially run your own business so there is a lot of hard work and dedication that goes into your first year of training. But the reward is worth it in the end and your hard work will pay off! In the rental car business it is not always a seamless process. There will be challenges regarding fleet, but strive to plan in advance and provide solutions.

Pros

Good starting pay, Fly you out to FL for about 3 days, PTO, commission...

Cons

When the company starts failing and losing employees, they will replace you with the contracted cleaning company. Very horrible management, very unorganized and most of the time clueless. They leave employees to fend for themselves but when something goes wrong they attribute it to lack of leadership? This company is literally a dog chasing its own tail. It can never grow or be apart of the best rental car companies because the Management doesn't really care about the company, they car about the money THEY make.

Thank you for reviewing the Customer Service Associate position with Sixt. We are glad that you enjoyed the pay, training and PTO structure that Sixt provides. As far as third part vendors, we often work with them for many of our entry level positions such as drivers, cleaners, and in some cases, customer service associates who return our vehicles. Most of the time this is a cost effective measure for our business and does not reflect that status of the company. Actually, Sixt has prospered significantly in the past two year across the world and in the U.S. market. We attribute this to our great customer service and growth in management as well. We understand that there are still improvements that we can make involving leadership, however, we do focus on maintaining and hiring managers with a passion for people and dedicated to the further expansion of Sixt.

Pros

The few pros are: company sells a good product and has great name recognition internationally. I really wish this company implement better management. Which leads to my cons

Cons

Lots: overworking employees, contacting employees off the clock hours after shift, sometimes in the middle of the night, impossible expectations, inadequate equipment to fufill job duties, manager in West Palm Beach doesn't care about employee appreciation, and manager makes questionable remarks about other employees and customers.

Thank you for reviewing Sixt. As you mentioned, we do have great brand recognition across the world and are very proud of our success in the United States as well. We are glad that you enjoy this aspect of Sixt. To address your concerns regarding the PBI location, there are times where we have emergency call outs and our managers or other willing employees will have the opportunity to cover a shift, however, this is never ideal or expected of an employee. Our management team will simply ask if an employee could cover in these cases, if not, then it is the managers responsibility to take over the shift. Additionally, all employees have the adequate uniform, computers, keys, and vehicles to complete the Rental Sales Agent position. We understand that there are times where we may not have a specific vehicle for a customer due to late returns, damage, seasonality, etc. In these cases you are able to offer the customer an alternative vehicle to accommodate their trip. Our Managers and Fleet team will be able keep you updated on solutions if this situation were to arise. Finally, our quarterly Employee Excitement Survey for the area has proved to be satisfactory, showing that our employees are satisfied with the pay ans well as management. Likewise, out retention for the area has been very high with some employees who have been with us since the location opened. With the sales role being very entry level, many of our employees have moved up within the organization or moved on to careers in their field of study after graduation. We are concerned to hear that you have had a negative experience regarding this location and would encourage you to reach out to our VP of HR regarding your comments. Gaddy Fernandez can be reached at 954-874-1793.
