Pros

They will hire anyone even the neighborhood drug dealer because they don't drug test.

Cons

The downsides are: There is basically no training in the entire organization. You are thrown to the floor with no formal training or procedures and expected to perform. The managers are very young people with no formal manager training or education. Although they promote from within, they don't follow professional guidelines on interviewing and they select not the candidate with the most experience, but the candidate that has ties to the company.

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.
