Pros

Meeting a lot of ambitious 20-30 year olds. Company car, phone, possible travel. Free dry-cleaning. Opportunity to learn how to run a business by yourself!

Cons

Poor corporate structure and work environment. Absolutely no work-life balance. Expected to put in at least 50-60 hours and have your company phone on 24/7. The uniform is horrific. Ladies- heels all day.

Thank you for your review. Great to hear that you enjoyed the benefits of being a Branch Manager while with Sixt. It is our goal to provide all the tools necessary to allow our Branch Managers to flourish in an entrepreneurial environment. As a Branch Manager there is a lot of work that goes into growing your own branch, especially at the early stages of having a brand new location. Not only are you building your staff, you are also building a presence within the community. Additionally, you are responsible for many other tasks that keep your business afloat with the help of our headquarter team. With this said there are work weeks that you will put in 50-60 hours and if your branch has overnight staff you will need to be available in case of emergencies. This is very clear when entering into the Management Trainee program before becoming a Branch Manager. The role is extremely entrepreneurial in nature. Of course, hard work does not go unnoticed at Sixt. There are countless instances where Junior Branch Managers have developed into Senior Managers, moved into larger branches, or have taken over additional locations. Passion for the business environment will get you very far with Sixt!

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.

Worse job ever

Pros

There is some great talent from the rental agents and some of the corporate employees. The benefits are ok for someone coming right out of college. PTO days aren't the best and neither is the insurance, but they are ok. Something is better than nothing. Pay is ok too.

Cons

The president is a joke. He has zero people skills. He spends his days flirting with the female employees since they hire alot of pretty girls or yelling at everyone. He has no idea what he is doing and I am surprised that he hasnt been fired. Also I was told to write some of the good reviews so anyone looking for a job don't trust them because I'm sure a lot of other people were told to from other locations. There HQ employees also get around with all the assistants. If anyone gets pregnant they should all get paternitty tests. I'm ready to quit any day as soon as I can take time off to actually look for a job.

Thank you for complementing our Rental Sales Agents and corporate employees. We strive to find the best talent for our branches and HQ! For a young company we also pride ourselves on having great benefits such as paid time off after 6 months with 16 PTO days after your first year and progressively more thereafter. In addition, we offer 3 different options in regards to medical coverage as well as dental and vision benefits. Finally, we do have banked holidays that our employees can take advantage of. To address your concerns, Sixt is a very diverse company; you can view this at any of our branches. Sixt management also has an open door policy that allows employees to address challenges not just at the branch level but to the executive team as well. This follows suit with our quarterly Employee Satisfaction Survey that is 100% anonymous. We encourage employees to be honest about how they feel and share positive and negative experiences, not only for this survey, but in person as well. This is the only way that we can improve. We appreciate your feedback. Since you claim that you are currently employed with Sixt we would welcome you to discuss any of the above matters confidentially with our VP of HR Gaddy Fernandez.
