Pros

Fast paced culture, and new ideas are always considered. Great option for anyone entering into a career.

Cons

Can be exhausting at times. Usually near a breaking point you'll get an amazing sale or someone will lift your spirit.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Sixt USA. As a growing company in a new market we are always willing to consider new ideas that can help us innovate and grow. We are happy to hear that you appreciate this aspect of Sixt as well as the fast paced culture. The Rental Sales Agent role is very competitive and challenging as you mentioned. However, with the right techniques and consistent training from our Regional Sales Performance Managers, it can be become more of a comfortable role and very lucrative for those wanting a strong earning potential! Again, we appreciate your feedback and advice and hope that you continue to excel with Sixt!

Pros

Great teamwork, commission structure, opportunities for growth, lots of responsibilities.

Cons

Cannot advance/transfer with out letter from manager, who procrastinates until the position is closed so you stay at their branch. Shifts are not very flexible downtown branches. Also, the ESI isn't exactly anonymous when there is less than four employees, as is contacting gaddy with issues.

Thank you for taking the time to review Sixt rent a car. We are glad that you are satisfied with the career advancement, commission structure, and team environment that Sixt provides! To address your concerns, managers are encouraged to promote employees who are in good standing. If an employee contacts the HR department in an effort to be considered internally, HR will contact the Branch Manager to ensure that we receive a recommendation letter promptly. There are times were Branch Managers may choose not to recommend a current employee if they need further development. Even if that were to be the case, the Branch Manager will have a one on one conversation with the employee providing feedback and a performance improvement plan in efforts to prepare for career advancement within Sixt. HR insures that this meeting occurs. We guarantee that ESI is 100% anonymous. Managers with less than three employees do not receive their results directly in an effort to ensure anonymity. The Pompano location, until recently, did not have more than three employees on staff. I’m sorry you feel that contacting Gaddy with your issues did not resolve your concerns. Our employee’s satisfaction is very important to us and employee anonymity is of the upmost concern to Gaddy and Sixt rent a car alike. Lastly, our executive VP along with our VP of sales performance went on a road show with the exciting news that all branches would receive an RSPM (Regional Sales Performance Manger) to work directly with all of our Rental Sales Agents in efforts to better train and develop them with IRPD. Since you claim that you are a current employee we would like an opportunity to hear more about your concerns. Please contact Gaddy at 954-874-1793.

Pros

The company gives you nice Gucci clothes as the uniform, you have to be a size 0-6, which was not fair for another employee. She needed to buy her own clothes because she was a size 10. However great benefits

Cons

Wacky hours 2pm-11pm, 4am-2pm, very random. They fly you to Miami all the time for training, not much time given if you have to coordinate family care.

We are pleased to hear that you’re satisfied with the company benefits that we provide and the uniforms. Although they are not Gucci, we agree, the quality is exceptional! Unfortunately, we were not made aware of any employees that needed to purchase their own clothing for work. At Sixt, we do everything in our power to make sure that employees are properly accommodated with their uniform size. Our Airport locations are typically 24 hours depending on the size of the location. Yes, sometimes, managers are expected to work unusual shifts to accommodate their employees and properly manage their branch. Additionally, managers are given at least one months’ notice if there is training classes they need to attend. This ensures that we provide adequate time for all managers to make necessary arrangements. However, there may be instances where there are sudden meetings that require the manager’s attendance as well, and in these instances, they are usually day trips. We understand the inconvenience, but sometimes we need the expertise of certain managers and we have to call on you to join us in Ft. Lauderdale. Finally, depending on the position employees receive either classroom training or on the job training. Most managers go through a six month to one year training period (depending on experience level) where they shadow and perform all duties they are expected to execute when they are Branch Managers. Rental Sales Agents have a week of classroom training with our corporate trainers at headquarters, they also receive on the job training the weeks following training, and have consistent coaching regarding their sales from the Regional Sales Performance Managers on site. If you have any additional concerns or would like to discuss the above information further, we encourage you to contact Gaddy Fernandez! She can be reached at 954-874-1793. Thank you again for providing feedback for the company.
