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.

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
