Pros

They are not picky when it comes to who they hire. Not a lot og people are willing to put up with this kind of treatment so if you are willing to work 50 hours a week for a small salary you are hired.

Cons

It is seriously like being back in Kindergarden. Nobody knows what they are doing, everyone blames evryone else for their mistakes. It is a complete mess, employees are constantly stressed out, the work environment is very negative. Employees get promoted based on who they are friends with and whether they come in to work on the weekends. This company is honestly only a decent option for frsh college grads with no experience or experienced professionals who are so incompetent that no other company will hire them. Smarter colleagues leave after a short period of time to get a real job.

Our trainee program requires paid 49,5 work hours per week. As our organisation is just three years operating in the US and our location network is constantly growing we are promoting many recent graduates in responsible positions. These are fast career opportunities for many but sometimes can be misunderstood by few. I would like to listen and learn how you feel about working at Sixt. Please contact me. Kind regards Gaddy Fernandez

Pros

Excellent work environment, helpful managers

Cons

It only takes one or two customer reviews to affect you negatively. Disproportionate to the number of customers you handle.

Pros

• Strong learning experience in business operations, especially P&L, pricing, and revenue growth • Opportunity to work with talented and driven colleagues • Clear performance structure with defined KPIs and bonus incentives • Fast-paced environment that builds resilience and management skills • Good exposure to leadership communication and corporate expectations

Cons

• High-pressure, top-down culture with constant focus on results • Middle management roles can feel unsupported despite high expectations • Disciplinary actions sometimes felt excessive for minor issues • Workplace culture included gossip and lack of professionalism at times • Limited coaching and development—more focus on outcomes than guidance • Bonus structure can be difficult to fully achieve due to split KPIs • Customer service metrics felt unrealistic to consistently control • Perception of over-policing performance (both under- and over-performance scrutinized) • Advancement expectations are aggressive; may not be ideal for those not seeking rapid promotion • Frontline employees appear prioritized over management support

Dear former employee, thank you for taking the time to share such a balanced and thoughtful review after your time with us in Los Angeles. We're glad to hear that you valued the learning opportunities, the talented colleagues, and the clear performance structure. At the same time, we take your concerns seriously – particularly around management support, coaching, and the fairness of our bonus and disciplinary structures. A high-performance environment should come with the right guidance and your feedback is valuable as we continue to develop a culture at Team Orange where both results and people matter. If you'd like to share more in confidence, feel free to reach out at talents@sixt.com. We wish you all the best in your next chapter. Best regards
