Pros

This bank has been facing lot of regulatory issues. It's gradually closing those. Usually get full bonus

Cons

1. Organizational Structure is really messed up in some cases. Single employee being managed by two people leading to lot of inefficiencies. 2. The technology platforms used are primitive and there's tremendous scope for improvement there. Lot of things being done manually. 3. Higher management does not have good amount of visibility over the kind of work being done in teams. People with no expertise in a specific field are given Titles that do not suit their profile. This leads to misconception about the kind of work being done in the team. This is a huge disadvantage for people applying for jobs to a position within such a team. 4. Several teams are understaffed. 5. Hiring manager not revealed for internal job postings which makes it difficult to explore opportunities without disclosing to your current manager. 6. Underpaid in comparison to industry average.

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.
