Pros

I am learning everyday more, there is a great team atmosphere. I don't know if this speaks for the whole bank or if it is just my department but I would recommend working here as an intern. You get to be constantly pushing your abilities and skills; as well as learning so much!

Cons

The working hours are sometimes too much, no one leaves if the boss doesn't leave which is annoying because although you might not be productive or have anything to do you have to stay until the end.

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.
