Pros

You will learn how to swim very quickly and if you already know how to swim, you will master your butterfly and dolphin kicks! This company is definitely for self-starters and those with a good amount of stress tolerance and a great energy level. You will not be constantly supervised and told what to do, but if you like to take ownership, this is where you can find tremendous opportunity to learn and grow and promotion from within happens on branch as well as HQ level. If you wish to explore, experience another Sixt branch or venture off into a different position at Sixt that you find more interesting or suitable for your talent/knowledge, a "NO" will 99.9% NOT stand in your way, but will be supported by management. Since the company is young in the USA, the team is relatively young too, which creates an energetic atmosphere that makes it fun to work in - don't expect to twiddle your thumbs. I don't think that I could have learned as much about the car rental and its related industries in any other company during the last two years as I did here, going through operations and administration. As a go-getter, this is a good company to work for, as they give you room to make own decisions.

Cons

As with every start-up company, processes are not fully proven and set in stone, but are constantly being redeveloped until they fit best, which can sometimes lead to a bit of frustration.

Pros

Nice Cars, Friendly low level employees, nice offices and excellent fecilities everywhere

Cons

No respect for employees from upper management. Make you work 15 hrs a day 7 days a week as a trainee and no additional benefits for it. After they are done using you and your experience they simply discard you after great growth promises. I worked at a USA location, after a while they started getting rid of all non white, skinny, model looking employees and started bringing in Germans for all management positions after they were promised to Americans.

Pros

I have nothing positive to say about this experience.

Cons

The company culture and career opportunity that Sixt USA sells during their interview process is a falsehood. The USA HQ in Fort Lauderdale is a negative, disorderly, and immature environment. Employees are openly negative about the company and their coworkers. Work conditions are strict. Salaried employees are required to clock in and out as they arrive to and from work including as they come and go for lunch. Hours are monitored strictly and employees are expected to consistently work 50+ hour work weeks. Their strange dress code for females includes no open toed shoes, no bright hair color, no distracting jewelry, no excessive makeup, and no bright nail polish. Sixt management forces new employees to work in their "Test Kitchen" and pull 10 hour work shifts once a week in an embarrassing uniform as Car Rental Salespeople in an ongoing "training" - they will not tell you this during the interview process nor do they allow you to opt out of participating. They essentially require you to work a second job to avoid properly staffing their Fort Lauderdale downtown car rental branch. Internal systems and processes are outdated and literally written in foreign language - most systems are written in German where the company is globally headquartered. People quit and are let go constantly, it is a revolving door.
