Pros

Ok, so never getting a raise sucks- but if you can look past pay, they offer great benefits and the atmosphere is bearable. People are GENERALLY nice. This company definitely has MANY perks: • 22-28 days PTO (option to buy even more!) • Medical, Dental, Vision • Free STD, LTD, and AD&D insurance • Counseling and Legal Assistance • 401K (3-5% match) • Tuition Reimbursement • Computer Purchase Program • Discounts and Travel Deals (not that great) The work is either stressful or a complete breeze. Corporate and upper management want to stress meeting deadlines - and for good reason. The deadlines are attainable. Could I finish a quarterly review 2 weeks early? Probably. Will I? Not a chance. Leisure is valued here.

Cons

Ok, so here’s the big secret at Santander - overall, the work is really not overwhelming. But, people here are accustomed to the comfortable pace - so, when management tries tightening deadlines, they get resistance. It’s almost laughable. It really hinders any realistic growth for this company. If you get a raise or bonus at all, it will be a measly 2% (if that). People who work less hard, get less pay - seems to be everybody’s trade off here. Oh, and the technical problems are infinite. Outdated systems would be a blessing - we use fossils. Nobody gets fired here, but I’ve seen a few incidents recently where managers and HR were using some underhanded methods to get an employee fired. Witnessing this definitely reinforced my decision to leave.
