      Pros

      Good work environment with excellent training and mentoring. Easy work schedule and a good place to learn client management skills in a multi faceted work environment

      Cons

      The commission on sales performed by an outside financial advisor were low. It was not always easy to meet with clients to discuss financial objectives as many clients do not visit the bank but instead do their banking online

      Allegedly a meritocracy, really mediocrity

      Pros

      Santander has sincerely made the commitment to staying in the US, and is looking to grow after turning-around a dysfunctional entity in the US (fmr Sovereign Bank). Conservative staffing policy will prevent layoffs unless the US has a severe economic relapse.

      Cons

      Extremely conservative philosophy in regards to expenses unfortunately extends to employee compensation. You might say the turnaround from being insolvent to several quarters of growth was made "on the employees backs". Base compensation was frozen across-the-board for several years while benefits were substantially cut, to the point that they had to give some benefits back over the past couple of years, or there would have been a massive employee exodus. Their staffing model has been to heavily invest in young (read: cheap) talent through their their Santander Universities outreach initiative, and heavily in technology standardizing business processes. This way, when an employee leaves, they could just plug-in another fresh graduate. Anyone looking to rise through Santander US corporate ranks could expect to do so only in Boston.
