Pros

You have the ability to steer your responsibilities, while growth is rapid. The management trainee program gives you an accelerated path to managing and lots of responsibility right out of school. Fun culture and good-looking people.

Cons

Pay and benefits lag behind the rest of the industry. Staying with the company for a long time is not incentivized with retirement plans, etc. Family business based in Germany - rocky road to upper management. Not family-friendly.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to review Sixt as your current employer! We are glad that the Management Trainee position has offered you the growth, responsibility, and fun atmosphere that you desired. It is our priority to ensure that all of our employees are enjoying the work environment that Sixt provides and hope that you will continue to grow with us! To discuss your compensation concern, the pay for IMT’s and Branch Managers are very competitive compared to other companies. With the trainee role not only are you offered a base, you also receive a company vehicle, paid flight costs to each rotation, and paid extended stay living. Therefore, the normal costs you would incur with other training roles, you do not with us. Also, as a Branch Manager you will receive a significant bump in base salary, a company vehicle and additional bonuses based off of how well your branch is performing. With all of our positions we offer medical, dental, and vision benefits, paid time off, and paid holidays. Although we do not have a retirement plan yet, this is in the works and will be something that we acquire in the near future for our employees. If you would like to discuss any of your above feedback with HR we encourage you to do so! Please reach out to Gaddy Fernandez directly at 954-874-1793.

Pros

Provided me with selling skills. You are allowed to work as much overtime as you would like.

Cons

Management is horrible. Managers try their best to not do their job. Instead pass on their tasks to a less qualified employees. If you get on a managers bad side or speak your mind then beware because your job will be in jeopardy. Sixt tends to only hire really young girls probably because the pay is so low. The commission does not really help either.

We even benchmark salaries each year to make sure that we are staying competitive within our industry. We realize that you addressed many concerns regarding management. We strive to have a very welcoming and positive environment for all of our employees and will definitely investigate this issue further.

Pros

Pay and commission was good. My coworkers were really helpful when I needed help. I got to test drive some really nice cars.

Cons

Not enough training. The rental car software was not user friendly, it often crashed. Managers were so hard to track down. There was no designated employee parking and it was such a hassle finding street parking in that location.

We are pleased to know that you enjoy the commission structure and team oriented environment at your current branch! Unfortunately, this is a Franchise location and our corporate team does not handle training, etc. We apologize for the inconsistences that you are experiencing. We will be looking into this.
