      Pros

      If you are young and smart, Sixt is a good company to work for is you are looking to start your career. What appealed to me when I applied to work for sixt is that they are known for renting luxury vehicles. On a day-to-day basis, working around Audis is sexier than working around Chryslers. Training for me took place out-of-state and sixt paid for my flight, hotel room, and rental car. The training was very useful. Sadly, the day-to-day operations at sixt rarely run as smoothly as the training would lead you to believe.

      Cons

      There are either not enough cars to cover all the reservations, or so many cars and it takes some serious concentration not to hit anything. Although I tried my best at my job, I sometimes felt like the management didn't necessarily like or trust me. Despite having a DOJ livescan, a college degree, and prior experience working with cars, I felt as if I could never move up within the company for reasons beyond my control. Customer complaints are common and range from superficial to serious. While you want to make the customer feel better, they don't want your sympathy, what the customer wants is a discount. I don't work for the company anymore but I still have bad memories of customers screaming at me. Lastly: Bathrooms, company cell phones, and company computers would go out of order without warning.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Sixt. We are glad that you found the training process to be very beneficial and enjoyed the luxury vehicles that we offer. We appreciate your contribution to Sixt while in the bay area! An important part of the Fleet Planner positon is inventory management and planning and dispatching our fleet for hourly, daily, and weekly forecast demand. We understand that depending on the amount of walk-ins and reservations that we may have more or less vehicles, however, our fleet departments locally and in HQ will work collectively to insure that we are keeping in line with demand. Additionally, our team prides itself on having an open door policy. It is imperative that if you have any reservations in regards to your position that you speak with your managers. We have had a lot of growth within Fleet in San Francisco and the surrounding areas, therefore, we are confident that there is always growth potential. If you feel that you would like to discuss any of your concerns further we would encourage you to call 954-874-1793. Our VP of HR, Gaddy Fernandez, would be happy to speak with you.

      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
