BRANCH MANAGER

Pros

Great opportunities for Junior Level position to get more responsibilities. A lot of trainings and you have a lot of independence to develop the branch at your own decisions.

Cons

It's very difficult to make a good service with the lack of staff and in many occasions we were stinguishing fires. That turns into demotivation and non possibility to develop yourself in other aspects.

Pros

Diversity and ambitions of the other rental sales agents

Cons

One of the most frightening companies I've ever worked for. There is very little stability and a lot of excuses given by upper management preventing one from succeeding. Ive been promised so often to "hang in there" and that things will change but there are never any hardcore facts to show this projected improvement presented. And with rules and policies changing every day from headquarters and conflicting with the old ones, everything is super disorganized. Had an encounter with a corporate employee from headquarters who came to help out the branch with our quality. He showed up hungover, barely coherent, and smelled like weed. He's even went out drinking and has done drugs with one of the other rental agents! I have seen a lot of really intelligent talented employees resign over the past 4 months. Not a great company if you value hard work and high achievement!

We appreciate your feedback. Sixt has a very diverse culture and it is our mission to recruit top talent interested in growing with the company. We are pleased that you appreciate these aspects of Sixt! To address your concerns, you are correct, there are many changes that Sixt U.S. has implemented and has yet to implement. Even though we are a very established company in the European markets we are still very young in the United States. Due to this, our branch and HQ employees work collectively to find solutions that will benefit our customers and employees alike. Especially in the case of making a franchise a corporate location (as done in Las Vegas), there are many steps to take to ensure compliance. Additionally, our company is filled with ambitious and hardworking individuals dedicated to entrepreneurship. Many employees have been with Sixt U.S. since we came here 5 years ago and have grown significantly. We are determined to mirror this process with high achievers on the front line as well. 2015 was the most profitable year for Sixt across the world. We have made many significant changes to the U.S. structure that has greatly benefited us and will continue to bring us into success in the coming years. If you would like to further discuss your concerns with the VP or HR please call 954-874-1793.
