=== High turnover ===
* September 2024 (current employee): ''"Only a number the person behind it is left in the lurch...More and more bosses are breaking under the pressure and leaving the company-The commission model has been adjusted so that employees can no longer achieve the targets without tricking or forcing something on the customers. Online prices have also been reduced so much that everything is included in the cheaper price and you can no longer sell anything to increase your commission."''
* September 2024 (current employee): ''"Profit is paramount, employees and their well-being are given little importance, hire & fire prevails-There are enough newspaper articles about the top level (Wirtschatswoche “Wave of exodus at Sixt”), nothing needs to be said about that."''
* June 2024 (former employee): ''"Had 3rd branch manager within half a year. There was a lot of chaos in the station and every employee blamed each other."''
=== Hire and fire culture ===
=== Culture of fear ===
=== Poor management ===
=== Great team and tasks ===
=== Opportunities for growth ===

* August 2024 (current employee): ''"Sixt is living the capitalist American dream. Hire, fire, hire, fire. Give bad performance reviews to keep salaries low (don't worry about it, the performance reviews don't matter. The outcome is set six months in advance). Loyalty doesn't pay off. Over the years you earn less and less here. So start high, stay for a maximum of two years and leave."''
