Pros

Competitive corporate benefits. Somewhat aesthetically pleasing environment.

Cons

High on nepotism; low on integrity!!! Almost everyone's related, married or best buddies (from Spain). Unprofessional environment! All L3's and below are treated like incompetent children (little to no respect). No REAL opportunity for upward mobility (unless you have a friend).

Pros

Of all the companies I have worked for, Santander has had the strongest training program. The training was comprehensive, well-structured, and especially valuable for employees who are new to the banking industry. Additionally, Santander's ONE software is by far the most intuitive and user friendly banking platform I have used, making it easy to learn and navigate while supporting efficient daily operations.

Cons

Like most retail banking roles, there is a strong sales component. With fewer customers visiting branches due to online banking and ATMs, much of the day is spent making outbound calls to existing clients, trying to set appointments, and push products and services. While I understand the importance of sales in the industry, I personally felt there was significant pressure to prioritize sales goals over relationship building and client service, which I was not comfortable with.
