Pros

Nothing i can think of. Very low productivity staff and minimal competition internally which allow you to stand out easily. Open door management, they listen but dont act.

Cons

Terrible credit delivery and old school management. hyper focus on calling activity and micro management but not paying attention about delivering for the customers. They have a pessimistic view of their staff and do not trust or respect their bankers, even if you are a top producer. Business banking is managed by retail folks who have no clue about the business.

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.
