Pros

Great opportunities for Junior Level position to get more responsibilities. A lot of trainings and you have a lot of independence to develop the branch at your own decisions.

Cons

It's very difficult to make a good service with the lack of staff and in many occasions we were stinguishing fires. That turns into demotivation and non possibility to develop yourself in other aspects.

Thank you for your feedback as a former Branch Manager with Sixt! We are glad you enjoyed the entrepreneurial aspect of your position. We understand that it is difficult to have added responsibility while we build up our staff, however, we appreciate your dedication and flexibility. Sixt strives to motivate at every level and assist under stressful circumstances, especially with a new location. If you have additional concerns we would encourage you to provide your local HR department with feedback as well.

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.

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
