Pros

It's a job. Your paycheck will be the only thing you have to look forward to. If your boss doesn't adjust your bonus so you can't get one.

Cons

The sales team is ran by a group of immature shallow managers. They run around in their own group and act standoffish to the other employees. The managers don't know how to manage or motivate, this company has some of the rudest, nastiest leaders I have ever worked for. The company reminds me of a group of immature highschool kids trying to be popular. These people act like they are not human, they are the absolute worse people you would ever want to work for.

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.
