Pros

In general terms, if you deserve it you have good changes of being promoted an also there are opportunities for changing you career inside the company. Wok-life balance I would say is positive, of course you can work as many after hours as you like but also many people leaves work on time and that is no problem. Benefits are very good. Excellent Health insurance, 401K among others

Cons

Salary is below average. In general the careers inside the company are not developed, I mean that there are employees with good experience and there may be a junior that just came to the company, and even may have no prior experience, and he/she can still have better salary than the older and experienced one. Simple does not make sense.

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.
