Pros

International company, great experiences with the branches in the EU. Enjoyed my experience with my last branch so much better with having a healthy age/gender diversity and way more of an organized and willing manager/team. Opportunity, so it seems at least in the beginning. A business trip to FL if you're not a local.

Cons

Unfortunately I was served the McDonald's version of joining this company since my branch was very unwelcoming which later was confirmed to me by someone else having had worked there. Unprofessional behavior, chaotic, unorganized, highschool environment including cursing is what I had to listen to. Badmouthing was a routine. No age diversity, low salary and generally a branch with insecure employees too busy whining and gossiping all day instead of working towards becoming a team.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review for Sixt rent a car. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the branch environment you were reassigned to. However, we do apologize that your initial branch was not as positive of an experience. Our executive team has regular regional and branch manager meetings as well as ongoing training to promote positivity, consistency, and professionalism across all branches. Likewise, all new hires have a mandatory orientation and several also have a mandatory one week training at our headquarters. This allows employees to become familiar with our HR and training teams and learn about our standards and procedures. With that said, all branch employees should have a thorough understanding of how to conduct themselves in a professional manner and if any discrepancies should arise, every new hire is encouraged to contact a member of the HR team. Due to your unsatisfying experience at your first branch, we would encourage you to reach out to our VP of HR, Gaddy Fernandez. Unwelcoming behavior is not promoted and of course we would investigate to rectify this. In regards to your concerns about managerial training, all managers experience a wide range of markets for several months to a year (depending on experience level) to provide them with the knowledge to overcome obstacles and successfully manage a team. Additionally our managers either have a Bachelor’s Degree or prior managerial and leadership experience and training. We hone in on personality traits and behavior to select our managers and only a select few make it through out rigorous interview process. Our recruiting team ensures that we are selecting managers that match our superior standards of professionalism and quality service and also selecting those that can manage a team that will embody these traits. Mangers in training must constantly show a passion for the business, show enthusiasm that matches our standards, and of course, pass their assessment to successfully manage their own branch. Also we do have a competitive compensation package. Comparing us to other companies, our employees are compensated very well. Finally, as you yourself recognized, Sixt prides itself on being a very diverse organization when it comes to age and gender. In addition, Sixt’s Branch Managers not only come from the United States but all over the world.

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.
