Pros

There aren't many. Vacation time off is on par with competitors, but you'll need that time off with the stress of this employer.

Cons

As many have said before, if you are not a transferee from Banco Santander overseas, or a native Spanish or Portuguese speaker, your career will go nowhere.

Pros

As in any large company, there are some very good people at Santander who genuinely care about making a positive difference. However, with Santander's high rate of organization change and employee turnover, you really shouldn't make a decision about whether or not to join the company based on who your colleagues will be.

Cons

Santander continues to face many challenges, including poor financial performance, frequent changes in executive leadership resulting in frequent changes in strategic direction, a significant lack of resources in most areas, high employee turnover, low employee morale and the prospect of failing the regulatory "stress test" for three years in a row.

Pros

Good benefits and that's it

Cons

Abusive environment, Absolutely NO training, management doesn't care about their customers at ALL! I never had so many customers tell me it was the worst customer service on the phone or teller line. I worked in back office and still got complaints for other people. You are not allowed to be sick or have a life.
