Pros

Things seemed promising at first when applying with Sixt as well as the interview process, and then everything went south.

Cons

Went through the interview process, got hired, was given two potential training days that were 19 days apart with very little notice of when the day would be chosen for me to begin. Then received a call letting me know the position in the location i applied for was no longer available as they were not opening the location (Costa Mesa).

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, we were unable to open our Costa Mesa location as soon as we had hoped, so instead of having candidates wait for the location to open we decided that we wanted to allow them the opportunity to find different employment in the meantime. Thankfully all candidates had the option of working or being considered for our various Los Angeles locations and we were able to place the select few that that were still in process and agreed to this change. We value you as a candidate and apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused!

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
