Pros

Large company with competitive benefits, has attracted great employees from many respected companies but it ends there

Cons

Where do I start? Struggles to run efficiently and within US regulations. Great staff in the banks but home office senior management combats with Spain oversight that is not in tune with US ways and respect for employees or US regulations. This creates the kind of environment where "they eat their own young" is an apt description. Many workers that came from great companies but found no greatness become unhappy and paranoid. No respect for diversity or inclusion. No respect for life work balance.

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.
