      Pros

      Decent pay and bonuses. They provided my position with a base salary, quarterly bonuses and the potential to earn commissions for investment referrals.

      Cons

      Horrible environment, extreme disorganization, antiquated systems, and micromanagement, the likes of which I've never encountered elsewhere. There was a complete lack of professionalism in all aspects.

      Pros

      There aren't many. Vacation time off is on par with competitors, but you'll need that time off with the stress of this employer.

      Cons

      As many have said before, if you are not a transferee from Banco Santander overseas, or a native Spanish or Portuguese speaker, your career will go nowhere.

      Pros

      As in any large company, there are some very good people at Santander who genuinely care about making a positive difference. However, with Santander's high rate of organization change and employee turnover, you really shouldn't make a decision about whether or not to join the company based on who your colleagues will be.

      Cons

      Santander continues to face many challenges, including poor financial performance, frequent changes in executive leadership resulting in frequent changes in strategic direction, a significant lack of resources in most areas, high employee turnover, low employee morale and the prospect of failing the regulatory "stress test" for three years in a row.
