Pros

Work - life balance, little/no supervision, flexible hours and ability to work from home

Cons

Expectations change by the minute. Hard to tell if it’s because goals are changing or if management simply doesn’t know what they want. HR is non-existent. IT took two months to get all systems set up when I started, and took away all my accesses before my last day. Incredibly high employee turnover rate.

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.
