Pros

International Rental company, perfect office location (located right before the bridge that takes you to Down Town Ft. Lauderdale). Great if you love German vehicles and of course all types of cars. Young working environment.

Cons

Finding other cultures in the company is rare. When that rare moment happens, chances are that they are hourly employees who work for the branch. It is a rare sight to see diversity inside SIXT corporate office. Due to the fact that THE HR AT SIXT IS BIAS, (Mostly females hired, Caucasians, Germans and Hispanics.) Other Cons A lot of lazy and unorganized people. Can cause confusion. Barley an equal opportunity employer.

Your feedback is highly appreciated in order for us to learn and grow as an organization. At Sixt, we strive to hire the most qualified candidates, while creating a diverse workforce. As expected, we are limited to the applicants who we can attract for HQ positions in South Florida. To understand more about the challenges of finding/attracting diverse talent you can confidentially talk with our VP of HR at 954-874-1793. The recruiting team and hiring managers select only candidates who meet the required qualifications (education, skills, experience, etc.), and we take pride in the diverse workforce we have. Sixt ensures many minorities, which you have pointed out, have an equal chance of employment and career opportunities as anyone else applying. In regards to our compensation model, we would like to clarify that Sixt is practicing an internal growth culture, where pay raises and promotions at HQ and nationwide branches are earned as a result of outstanding performance and promotion. Because customer service is a 24/7 business, the frontline staff at our locations is crucial for success in this industry. Therefore, we pay branch staff exceptionally well; in fact, we pay at one of the highest levels for the industry. If employees are attracted to the compensation model in our branches there are opportunities to apply internally to transfer from HQ to operations. HQ provides a service to our internal customers, in the field, who serve our customers at the highest level, securing income for Sixt.

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

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
