      All in all good, but not so rewarding

      Pros

      Great atmosphere, the management is friendly. Learning environment prevails for technical workers. Good relationship between developers, analysts and managers in an IT team

      Cons

      management lacks drive to motivate employees. lethargic attitude shown. pay is not so great and everyone wants to leave company soon after joining.

      Not a place you want to work at

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Unfortunately, I had a very miserable experience at Santander in New York. They are quite effective recruiters, but once you are in, you realize you have been lied to and most of the 'facts' you were told are simply untrue. A very frustrating place to work at, with very hierarchical management that simply won't listen (many of them Spanish expats who are here for a couple of years and then leave), and a very "old school" approach to everything. Very resistant to any type of change, technology or suggestion for improvement.

      Cons

      Salaries (base) are low. But they promise very high bonuses that unfortunately are never achieved even if one (as in my case) exceeds sales and revenue goals by 50%! Again, a culture of lies and excuses. Extremely old fashioned place where managers will literally yell and scream at every little chance they get. I was truly miserable at this place.

      Great opportunities for those who want a career in banking and sales

      Bank teller
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I work with some great people that actually make working here bearable. You get holidays off and there are good benefits like medical, dental, PTO etc. You will learn a lot about banking and finance for an entry level position. A great starting position especially if you plan on moving up to a personal banker or branch manager and making this your career.

      Cons

      Heavy on sales goals. But then again, what bank isn't right? I will literally receive harassing e-mails from the district executive every day about checking account goals or credit card goals. They care more about hitting their quarterly goals then customer satisfaction. If you aren't into sales, then banking probably isn't for you. Because even as a teller, you have a sales quota that you need to meet.
