* October 2022 (former employee, rating:1.0): ''"Overhyped-This is most definitely one of the worst experiences of my career. An organisation claiming to take a people centric approach and then forgetting to keep their word. You are expected to work like a donkey as a manager with greedy staff earning more money than you with skeleton staff in all branches and considering that you're working 80 hours per week your salary breakdown into hourly would be close to £8 per hour. The Area Directors are clueless who tend to use the Senior/Executive Managers as their donkeys.

=== High turnover === | |||
* September 2024 ('''current employee, rating:1.9, likes:3'''): ''"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, rating:1.9, likes:3'''): ''"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.

=== Hire and fire culture === | |||
* August 2024 ('''current employee, rating:1.3, likes:9'''): ''"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."'' | * August 2024 ('''current employee, rating:1.3, likes:9'''): ''"Sixt is living the capitalist American dream. Hire, fire, hire, fire.

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.
