Pros

The pay was good and I worked with some great people. New headquarters in Dallas is top notch and not an expense spared. Desks, computers, and break rooms are awesome.

Cons

It's a very negative work environment that does not encourage communication. I worked there for 1.5 years and after a year I knew it was not for me. The work environment is great but the people are not trained or encouraged to use standard corporate protocale or basic communication skills. It was a constant challenge to deal with the lack of morale and bad culture. Bottom line, the corporate CULTURE IS BAD

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.
