Pros

It's a Bank, but not really.

Cons

Systems are horrible - fix one thing break 2 two. Too many layers of management. Terrible communication. Way too many Consultants. Terrible Pay - Way below market. Confusing message from top down. Sr. Executive Management speaks with desdain, lack of respect. Non performers are most often rewarded with advancement opportunities due to fact the Human Resources is absolutly the worst ever. I have no loyalty to the Bank, not even a free checking. Maintenance and upkeep of the buildings is horrific. Normal occurrence at some locations, critters like cockroachs and mice daily. Terrible Cafeteria Food. Bathrooms, a large number do not have soap dispensers that work. Benefits are no big deal 4 weeks vacation that includes sick time. Work life balance - not realistic as most systems can be accessed remote since the bank does not possess a sound and stable info structure. Values - Not sure what that means since no one speaks with eachother. Management does not foster learning.

Pros

Great pay and generous vacation time. Initial training of informative and helpful to start with Santander. Lots of potential for growth.

Cons

Micro management, lack of professionalism. Your boss with do things because he boss told him to not because he believes it's the best course of action. Santander's entire technology is behind and very inconvenient. Multiple portals to access everything. Harder to stay on top of responsibilities when you have to have 17 usernames and different passwords for each one. They are falling behind smaller banks at this point.
