Pros

A nice training program and plenty of opportunities to earn overtime.

Cons

The company is very disorganized! There are days when there are no vehicles available or management shows up late. You are pretty much on your own after training.

Thank you for taking the time to review Sixt. It is our goal to continuously train employees even after they leave their first week or training with our Corporate Trainers. We have a specific training plan in place that requires that a new hire have a “buddy” for all of their shifts the first few days to a week of starting at the branch. This will allow the new hire to shadow and a get a feel for the counter. The Branch Manager will also have a checklist to go through for each new hire as well. All of this insures that our new hires are comfortable with the Rental Sales Agent role. Additionally, being a premium rental car company, our Rental Sales Agents are very polished and professional. Our behavioral interview style insures that we are choosing the best personality for the job. We also understand your frustration regarding not having certain vehicles. Depending on seasonality, the amount of walk-ins, and vehicles that may not have been returned on time, we will run into issues where we do not have the exact car that a customer was hoping for. It is important to go over this concern with your Branch Manager and Regional Sales Performance Manager so that they can further coach you on your sales approach, and ways of offering small discounts and incentives to customers if a different car must be offered. Of course, we are concerned to hear that you did not receive the proper training at your branch and have additional concerns regarding your team. We would encourage you to reach out to our VP of Human Resources, Gaddy Fernandez at 954-874-1793. Be assured that your conversation will remain anonymous. We would like to hear from you and go over what you have discussed above. We are dedicated to our employees and want to ensure that you are enjoying and growing with Sixt!

Pros

Great co-workers, management and environment. Great commission based pay. Flexible schedule. Great perks, such as giftcards for being top in sales, free care for a week, discounts on luxury cars.

Cons

Never enough vehichles to supply the customers. Sometimes, iwe would have 50 reservations and no cars on the lot. Which makes it difficult to upsell.

Thank you reviewing Sixt! It is great to know that you enjoyed your team, management, the schedule and pay, as well as the perks associated with being a Rental Sales Agent with Sixt. You are correct. Depending on seasonality, the amount of walk-ins, and vehicles that may not have been returned on time, we will run into issues where we do not have the exact car that a customer was hoping for. However, the great advantage of being a sales agent is that we provide you with many tactics on how to combat this issue as well as the power to offer small discounts and incentives to customers if a different car must be offered. We also have several Fleet Planners at all of our locations now that monitor the availability of our vehicles weeks in advance and even down to the hour. They will work closely with sales agents and detailers to make sure that the customer is satisfied. Unfortunately this a common occurrence for the entire rental car industry, but we do our best to always accommodate the customer.

Pros

Cons

the paid is not as good comparing to the stress environment and the long working hours, a lot of unprofessional managers, the have people without any previous work experience as managers who can't even deal with stress and work related issues.

We appreciate your dedication to Sixt for the past year that you have been with us! We would recommend contacting Human Resources at 954-874-1793 to anonymously speak about your concerns. Although you’ve enjoyed the learning and traveling aspects of your position, our team is disheartened to hear that you are stressed and feel that communication is lacking. Sixt prides itself on having a very motivating team environment all the way from our training department to our Branch and Regional Sales Performance Managers. Also our competitive base plus commission structure is in place to provide great earning potential and friendly competition among your peers. We hope that you will reach out to us and of course, have continued success with Sixt!
