Pros

Employee Outings, Nurse on site, nice offices

Cons

Company halfway trains associates so they inadvertently lie to and cheat customers. Employees that complain are written up repeatedly until they either quit or are fired. This place is full of people in management who are only in their positions because they were friends with or they are related to higher-ups. HR does not care what is going on. You AVPs and HR managers who will lie and make up things to cover for bad apples. This company has been sued for millions by the government for their business practices. I couldn't tell you how many times they've been sued by customers, employees, and even the government.

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.
