Pros

The few pros are: company sells a good product and has great name recognition internationally. I really wish this company implement better management. Which leads to my cons

Cons

Lots: overworking employees, contacting employees off the clock hours after shift, sometimes in the middle of the night, impossible expectations, inadequate equipment to fufill job duties, manager in West Palm Beach doesn't care about employee appreciation, and manager makes questionable remarks about other employees and customers.

Thank you for reviewing Sixt. As you mentioned, we do have great brand recognition across the world and are very proud of our success in the United States as well. We are glad that you enjoy this aspect of Sixt. To address your concerns regarding the PBI location, there are times where we have emergency call outs and our managers or other willing employees will have the opportunity to cover a shift, however, this is never ideal or expected of an employee. Our management team will simply ask if an employee could cover in these cases, if not, then it is the managers responsibility to take over the shift. Additionally, all employees have the adequate uniform, computers, keys, and vehicles to complete the Rental Sales Agent position. We understand that there are times where we may not have a specific vehicle for a customer due to late returns, damage, seasonality, etc. In these cases you are able to offer the customer an alternative vehicle to accommodate their trip. Our Managers and Fleet team will be able keep you updated on solutions if this situation were to arise. Finally, our quarterly Employee Excitement Survey for the area has proved to be satisfactory, showing that our employees are satisfied with the pay ans well as management. Likewise, out retention for the area has been very high with some employees who have been with us since the location opened. With the sales role being very entry level, many of our employees have moved up within the organization or moved on to careers in their field of study after graduation. We are concerned to hear that you have had a negative experience regarding this location and would encourage you to reach out to our VP of HR regarding your comments. Gaddy Fernandez can be reached at 954-874-1793.

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.
