Pros

- Dress down Friday - Generally flexible with working arrangements - Lots of regular newsletters to let you know what the company is doing

Cons

- Seriously un-organised, many administrative mistakes made by multiple departments - Promotions tend to go to Spanish counterparts - Communication between departments is poor due to the quick swelling of the company - Perks are practically non existent (£25 a head for Xmas for the past 8 yrs!) - Pay rises are poor - Bonuses reduced year on year (started at 25%, now at 10% for an S3) - Lots of redundancies in recent times (nearly everyone I know, across multiple departments, have either left or been put at risk)

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.
