Pros

You can make good money: 38-60k a year. A lot of room to move up in the company. Really flexible work hours since some of the branches are open 24/7. Paid Time off right away. They teach you some basic selling tips that you can carry over to any other company. I personally, as management intern got a really awesome experience that I can use to sell myself in future interviews. OVERALL, good company to work for!!

Cons

The BIG powerful people from Germany are in charge, and when they come over to the US everyone in the store is terrified even the managers. I never even got to speak with someone from Germany, but I was scared when I knew they were coming or in the area. They make it hard to ask for a day off.

Pros

The people. Meaning co workers

Cons

They teach you to lie to customers to make sells. All they care about is how much you sell. Your not going to have any idea what they put you through until you get there and by the way they run the company it wont last long in the u.s. You can make a lot in commission, thats what they sell you on BUT i never got my fair share because it was cut. Mananger said because of csi's and taxes. One month i was supposed to get almost 600 and only got 200. two months in a row and just wait until you see the pay stubs. they are a joke, unorganized and ruthless. Please do not work with this company, you can find so much better. I am taking them to court asap.

Thank you for taking the time to review Sixt. We are glad that you enjoyed interacting with your co-workers and appreciated that aspect of your positon. To be clear, your commissions are indeed based on the branch’s CSI score. During training, and when you get to the branch, this is explained to all employees. We encourage five star quality service across the board which is why customer satisfaction plays a big part in commission percentage. A collective team effort will help each individual profit. However, meeting sales goals is very important to earning commission so it is imperative to excel in both customer service and sales. Finally, the company does not encourage fraudulent sales tactics, quite the opposite, it is a terminable offense. Training prepares you for actual customer encounters and all information that is provided to you is factual. If you have encountered an inconsistency it is important to contact our HR department immediately. We take incidences like this very seriously and will thoroughly investigate. Please contact Gaddy Fernandez, VP of HR, with your concerns: 954-874-1793.

Pros

Easy to start onboard and unstressful work place. Forward thinking in some ways. Employee benefits and discounts. Conferences are available. English courses are free.

Cons

Low salary. High employee turn over. Don't trust their employees. Must clock in and out. Old fashioned management techniques and poor adoption of new technologies.
