Pros

Flexability and understanding of bereavement

Cons

So many things, awful pay. If you get put on stage 1 you lose 2 years worth of bonus, no extra support if you need it, use to be floor walkers to help a couple years back now tour just told to message a manager about an issue which they take 20-30 mins to respond while customer is already irrated about wait times, no room for progression through hard work only who you know

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.
