Pros

- Amazing benefits, life assurance, bike4work, cinema, apple products, high street retailers discounts, annual pay rise and bonus and many other benefits. - Great people work at Santander and great opportunities to experience other parts of the business. (Not through other job positions) - Not bad training

Cons

- As much as they say they have got rid of targets and don’t measure productivity (amount of products being opened) this isn’t true, they rename targets to expectations and if you don’t reach these ‘targets’ you don’t get as much of a salary increase or bonus. Also if you don’t reach a certain amount of products opened in a month then the manager is on your back, yet I thought this was the ‘old bank’ way? - The go on about work/life balance yet this is non existent - you get 1 Saturday off every 4. - Salary isn’t particularly great, the only reason I was on the top bracket was due to being hired from an external banks an I requested the amount. - No room for promotions, (they put a progression freeze on for about 6 months) - Workplace politics (not about me) go on in a lot of branches, where staff don’t like management and vice versa.
