Pros

Leuke collega’s, centraal gelegen, goede werk prive balans mogelijk.

Cons

Je kent het wel, nieuwe managers, nieuwe ideeen, waardeloos inzicht in de daadwerkelijke werkzaamheden, bezuinigingen die de werksfeer er ook niet beter op maken. Managers die zich zich verheven voelen boven hun eigen mensen. Veel druk van bovenaf. Vanuit Spanje worden er lijnen uitgezet die lang niet altijd haalbaar of realistisch zijn. De cultuur veranderde door de jaren heen echt aanzienlijk. Vroeger was heerste er een familie gevoel, maar dat veranderde vrij snel toen men vanuit Spanje meer druk op het Nederlandse management zette.

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.
