Pros

Good place to start your career in the banking industry.

Cons

Their system to provide service is really old. Now they trying to go universal, so they won't have to pay additional employees and the only results are going to be worst customer service, because now every team member is only looking for sales and if somebody comes with an issue nobody wants to take care of it.(all they had to do was hire an extra part time teller in every branch). Please wake-up this branches are not in store branches like citizens.

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.
