Pros

Incentive system was excellent. For minimal production, the incentive system yielded great quarterly bonuses. The company is also making capital investments to make the bank a better bank.

Cons

It feels as if the Company is in panic mode. The company failed multiple stress tests. The parent company in Spain is very wealthy and makes huge cash investments in Santander US

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.
