Pros

Great co-workers, management and environment. Great commission based pay. Flexible schedule. Great perks, such as giftcards for being top in sales, free care for a week, discounts on luxury cars.

Cons

Never enough vehichles to supply the customers. Sometimes, iwe would have 50 reservations and no cars on the lot. Which makes it difficult to upsell.

Thank you reviewing Sixt! It is great to know that you enjoyed your team, management, the schedule and pay, as well as the perks associated with being a Rental Sales Agent with Sixt. You are correct. Depending on seasonality, the amount of walk-ins, and vehicles that may not have been returned on time, we will run into issues where we do not have the exact car that a customer was hoping for. However, the great advantage of being a sales agent is that we provide you with many tactics on how to combat this issue as well as the power to offer small discounts and incentives to customers if a different car must be offered. We also have several Fleet Planners at all of our locations now that monitor the availability of our vehicles weeks in advance and even down to the hour. They will work closely with sales agents and detailers to make sure that the customer is satisfied. Unfortunately this a common occurrence for the entire rental car industry, but we do our best to always accommodate the customer.

Pros

Excellent work environment, helpful managers

Cons

It only takes one or two customer reviews to affect you negatively. Disproportionate to the number of customers you handle.

We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the work environment and found our managers helpful during your time with Team Orange. We also hear your feedback on the impact of customer reviews on individual performance metrics.

Pros

• Strong learning experience in business operations, especially P&L, pricing, and revenue growth • Opportunity to work with talented and driven colleagues • Clear performance structure with defined KPIs and bonus incentives • Fast-paced environment that builds resilience and management skills • Good exposure to leadership communication and corporate expectations

Cons

• High-pressure, top-down culture with constant focus on results • Middle management roles can feel unsupported despite high expectations • Disciplinary actions sometimes felt excessive for minor issues • Workplace culture included gossip and lack of professionalism at times • Limited coaching and development—more focus on outcomes than guidance • Bonus structure can be difficult to fully achieve due to split KPIs • Customer service metrics felt unrealistic to consistently control • Perception of over-policing performance (both under- and over-performance scrutinized) • Advancement expectations are aggressive; may not be ideal for those not seeking rapid promotion • Frontline employees appear prioritized over management support

Dear former employee, thank you for taking the time to share such a balanced and thoughtful review after your time with us in Los Angeles. We're glad to hear that you valued the learning opportunities, the talented colleagues, and the clear performance structure. At the same time, we take your concerns seriously – particularly around management support, coaching, and the fairness of our bonus and disciplinary structures. A high-performance environment should come with the right guidance and your feedback is valuable as we continue to develop a culture at Team Orange where both results and people matter. If you'd like to share more in confidence, feel free to reach out at talents@sixt.com. We wish you all the best in your next chapter. Best regards
