Sixt reviews

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to review our trainee and managerial roles. We are pleased that you’ve enjoyed your managers and have grown with the company throughout your years here. We are always striving to provide beneficial branch manager meetings that are fun and educational, so we are happy to know that you enjoy them. We would like to address a few of your concerns. In regards to the long hours, our managers are essentially running their own business. As a branch manager if you are able to run efficiently and effectively than you can trust your branch to operate without putting in as many hours. The role is very entrepreneur in nature. As you mentioned above, our RVP’s are very hands-on with their managers and are there to provide guidance and praise. Especially during quarterly branch manager meetings our president points out success stories and managers that are exceeding expectations to grow their branches. We have many managers that performed extremely well and advanced quickly within 6-12 months of being a trainee. It is difficult for any new manager to be completely ready for a leadership role of their very own location. However, we are confident in their abilities and our training process. We have recently extended the trainee time period to be between 12 and 15 months, but we still strongly believe in flexibility if a specific trainee is exceeding expectations. Sixt is also a “work hard, play hard” environment. As long as you are performing we encourage a little fun! To address the bonus concern, we are a growing organization. In order to continue to profit we have to increase our goals each year. We do not want to stay stagnant. The goals become larger each year in order to make money for the organization. This is the reason for our bonus structure change. The time that we roll out a new structure each year unfortunately may coincide with a new quarter. This is not meant to negatively affect your bonus instead it is a necessity to advance forward annually. Looking at our company as a whole we have had great retention with our managers many of whom are Senior Managers, Area Managers, or Regional. Additionally, we are very confident in our current HR team. They are extremely strong and equipped to support and grow our company. We provide all of the tools necessary for a branch and the manager to be successful. If a manager has been given every opportunity to perform and fails, we don’t feel that it is beneficial continue. Top performing managers are typically moved to larger locations with high revenues simply because they are an asset to our operations team! It is every employee’s decision whether they enjoy the fast paced and hands on environment that operations provides or moving into a demanding supporting role at HQ. We have had many transitions across the company in different directions deepening on the employee’s preference and strengths. Finally, Sixt is a fun, sexy, and conservative environment! We love the diversity of our team in all facets of the business from operations to HQ. If you have any concerns regarding your pay rate, etc. we would like you to call Gaddy Fernandez, our VP of HR at 954-874-1793.

Thank you for providing us with Feedback. We are discouraged and concerned in regards to your review. Yes, the US market is much different from our European counterparts. However, Sixt US has built a talented team at the branch and headquarter levels to foster creativity that will help us increase profitability and continue to succeed in this new market. We promote open communication as well as advancement based off of performance. With that said, we realize that we have much growing to do and there are always areas to improve. We would encourage you to reach out to Gaddy Fernandez at 954-874-1793. We will further investigate your concerns and propose a solution.
