* June 2024('''current employee, rating:2.2, likes:9'''): ''"Maybe as a transition to earning money-Over the years, it has always been between hire and fire and flattery of employees. My experience: It depends on the stock price, with a time lag, how things are going at the time. When the stock price is bad, people take blind action and when the stock price is good, they are rewarded."'' | * June 2024('''current employee, rating:2.2, likes:9'''): ''"Maybe as a transition to earning money-Over the years, it has always been between hire and fire and flattery of employees.

* June 2024 (former employee): ''"An atmosphere of pressure and fear, hire and fire. If you don't reach your goals, you're put on a list that's drawn up monthly. If you're on it more than once, you're fired. Because the management miscalculated with the electric cars and incurred losses, they're cutting costs everywhere. In the branch, counter employees now also have to clean cars, washing the outside by hand (car washes are too expensive), because the budget for car care workers has been drastically reduced."'' | |||
* August 2024 : ''"Initially very good until you have the wrong superiors, then a lot of pressure and a culture of fear."'' | * August 2024 : ''"Initially very good until you have the wrong superiors, then a lot of pressure and a culture of fear."'' | ||
* May 2024 ('''current employee, rating:2.5, likes:7'''): ''"I can't recommend anyone to apply to this company-There is an atmosphere of fear that anyone could be the next to be fired...The image to the outside world is relatively good...Managers are usually under a lot of pressure from higher up and have no time to promote their own employees...Pressure is put on the vehicle detailers to record at least 1, preferably 2 or more damages per rental, which results in an endless list of defects on the vehicles...A buggy rental system that constantly causes problems makes working immensely difficult."'' | * May 2024 ('''current employee, rating:2.5, likes:7'''): ''"I can't recommend anyone to apply to this company-There is an atmosphere of fear that anyone could be the next to be fired...The image to the outside world is relatively good...Managers are usually under a lot of pressure from higher up and have no time to promote their own employees...Pressure is put on the vehicle detailers to record at least 1, preferably 2 or more damages per rental, which results in an endless list of defects on the vehicles...A buggy rental system that constantly causes problems makes working immensely difficult."'' | ||
* May 2024 (former employee): ''"The new Sixt generation has succeeded in creating a culture of fear."'' | |||
* April 2024 ('''current employee, rating:2.4, likes:6.0'''): ''"Things are going downhill-Firing three people without notice within one month is simply not possible...It used to be better, but since the management's austerity measures, it's just been pure stress...The boss is only concerned with his own advantage and assigns 5 tasks at once. 5 minutes later, there's already a fuss about why you haven't finished."'' | |||
* April 2024 (former employee, rating:1.2, likes:6): ''"If you do not want to be out after 6 months with no reasons, do not work here-Shows nice outside, but inside, not open for another opinions at all. In fact, if they think they are right, they will terminate you, not even give you the clues why, or any warnings before."'' | |||
* | * April 2024 ('''current employee, rating:1.0, likes:10'''): ''"Criticism is not welcome; Sixt family rules like a dictatorship; Hire&Fire not necessarily conducive to employee motivation; almost no employee parking spaces; no works council, as the Hire&Fire culture would no longer be lived out if they were established; corporate culture is virtually non-existent; high fluctuation; no communication; Sixt family favorites are promoted...The WiWo article in January 2024 could hardly have been more accurate. The regiment of pressure describes the atmosphere very aptly. If the department head doesn't like what he's doing, he's simply fired."'' | ||
* | * April 2024 (former employee, rating:1.4, likes:9): ''"A nightmare working at Sixt-There is a constant silent fear and everyone knows how quickly they could be fired. Furthermore, employees are systematically monitored...There is also extreme micromanagement and employees are hardly allowed to make any decisions themselves...many branch managers do not have the backbone to stand up for their employees, because the branch managers themselves also want to make themselves as unassailable as possible...You shouldn't even make suggestions for improvement, they were perceived as a personal attack."'' | ||
* | * June 2024: ''"punctual salary payment. possibility to work from home. IT is far too slow (quantitatively too few, qualitatively overwhelmed). Over the years, it has always been between hire and fire and flattery of employees."'' | ||

* June 2024 (former employee, rating:1.4, likes:9): ''"Zero trust in employees. Employees make jokes when the access card doesn't work: "well, guess I was fired!" - because it is such a part of everyday work that employees are fired with immediate effect without warning or justification...I have never met a single manager who wasn't a complete windbag. The leadership qualities valued at Sixt are based neither on interpersonal skills nor proven strategic abilities, but on who can throw around empty buzzword shells the loudest. Values and attitudes are nowhere to be found at management level. Egos and the ruthless exploitation of others are what count here. It is worth mentioning at this point that one of the namesakes of this company felt no shyness or shame when he quoted Donald Trump in a tough Q&A format with the entire brand team in the year 2024. Tone deaf."'' | * June 2024 (former employee, rating:1.4, likes:9): ''"Zero trust in employees.

* May 2024 (former employee (left in 2024), rating:2.6, likes:7): ''"Used to be an exciting employer, but things have negatively developed. Glad I left-In the last 12 months that I worked in the department there was a negative vibe. High work pressure, high expectations, low reward (not talking about salary but showing appreciation and such)... I never had problems with my past managers. They were quite fair and understanding and goals and expectations that were set were acceptable.'' | * May 2024 (former employee (left in 2024), rating:2.6, likes:7): ''"Used to be an exciting employer, but things have negatively developed.

* April 2024 ('''current employee, rating:1.9, likes:7'''): ''"I want you not to make the same mistake as my colleagues and I-Either it's pure stress or doing nothing. Either way, it's the employee's fault...There is no work-life balance here. Holidays are not compensated, overtime and extra shifts are the norm...You're quickly told that you're replaceable. That's not nice...Good for customers."'' | |||
* April 2024 ('''current employee, rating:1.4, likes:5.0'''): ''"Pure stress, you have more and more tasks and, as described later, less money. No pay rise for a year and, as things currently look, there won't be one this year either. Costs are being cut everywhere, mobile check-in is being pushed so that the number of employees can be reduced. You're just being made fun of."'' | |||
=== Great | === Poor management === | ||
* August 2024 (former employee, rating:2.3, likes:6): ''"Self-destruction in Germany...There are many things that stifle motivation through personal effort and are managed completely incorrectly, even though it can be so much simpler."'' | |||
* August 2024 ('''current employee, rating:1.9, likes:8'''): ''"SIxt, a company that no longer values its employees at all! That wasn't the case in the past...Unfortunately, the direct supervisor, i.e. the branch manager, has no say...No works council...The regional manager always has to make the final decision!"'' | |||
* June 2024 ('''current employee, rating:2.4, likes:7'''): ''"Currently not recommended-Incompetent managers, no employee support."'' | |||
* April 2024 (former employee (left in 2024, rating:2.2, likes:8): ''"As described below: once top, now flop-There is a lot of potential, but managers only think about their bonus. People who are loyal have no chance or have to fight. Some managers boast about having done everything themselves, while in the background their employees have risked their health at work... But when it comes to mistakes, suddenly the employee is entirely to blame."'' | |||
* May 2024 (former employee, rating:3.2): ''"Anyone who ends up in the right department can be happy here for a long time and try out a lot of things and develop further...Working hours on a trust basis and the option to work from home have given me a good work-life balance...The salary here is very good and the benefits are very extensive...I have had to deal with good and bad bosses. Ultimately, the bad ones were too much for me."'' | |||
=== Employee well-being is not considered === | |||
* September 2024 (current employee, rating:3.1): ''"Everything revolves around numbers! As long as the sales performance is good, you will be left alone."'' | |||

* August 2024 (former employee, rating:1.1, likes:9): ''"An ultra-liberal and capitalist company."'' | |||
* September 2024 (former employee, rating:2.2, likes:4): ''"from the big hit to the biggest shit-there is no appreciation (in whatever form), no leadership, no idea how to deal with employees, bad staff are simply left to their own devices and thus destroy any motivation, everyone can basically do what they want"'' | |||
