Pros

Due to the mergery of Santander and Banco Real in Brazil, there are some opportunities to the employees. The communication towards the staff is clear during this difficult phase. The Banco Real supports a balance between work and personal life, and relationship between the colleagues (including the management positions) is very pleasant.

Cons

The company has to improve the performance recognition and feedback, through the use of better evaluation tools and metrics. Sometimes the results are not cleary set and evaluated, affecting the employees morale. Santander applies a very agressive policy towards cost reduction and sometimes affects the balance between work and personal life.

Pros

Desperation Cheap loans Masochism To be keen on seeing a rustic managing an international bank

Cons

Low salaries Bad work environment Too much stress Is like a sect (sectarian behaviour) Very long work periods They must know where you are in any moment (exhaustive control, no trust) The company is the prior thing and sometimes employees do illegal duties (recommend to buy shares to clients that Santander wants to get rid off; no accept recomendations of Bank of Spain nor Central European Bank, lie to clients to contract their services despite of high risks, ...)
