Pros

There's plenty of opportunities due to multiple shifting priorities. However you will run into multiple roadblocks in getting anything accomplished. There are a lot of people TRYING to do the right thing and who take pride in their jobs.

Cons

Company is riddled with cover ups, willful blindness, and corruption. Your integrity will be challenged at this company. If you do not fall in line they will make your life miserable. The technology and infrastructure is reminiscent of 1980 and EVERYTHING in this company is performed manually. It is nearly impossible to complete daily tasks due to the slowness/lack of system availability.

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.
