Pros

Great co-workers and work opportunities. Total rewards benefits are good such as compensation and 401k. Provide great family oriented events.

Cons

No work life balance. No training or support for position when promoted. I worked at SC for 4 years and I had 6 different supervisors. Four of them were let go - only 1 left on his own. They do not hire in my experience looking at the big picture of needs only short term goals. My last supervisor had no prior experience for the job and only spent 15 min a week with me. Leadership operates like bullies to it's employees = recipe for failure.

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.
