Santander reviews

The career patting is all for show. The attrition is off of the charts for a reason. People can't see a future and the incentive plan is a profit and loss system directly from Citizens Bank along with the staff who created it. That relates back to career. All senior positions are from friends of friends from other banks (Citizens, JP Morgan, Bank of America) the branches and business bankers are the face of the bank, literally the most talented people are sprinting to the doors! Of course they will fill the positions with new people that will have to go through training and build a pipeline so there will be a lot of less production in the year over year revenue.

Slow internal progression process. There's a huge lack of diversity on a senior level. Your ideas and creative thinking will not be valued here. Too many gamers focussing on results instead ethics. Working with money makes you a target for fraudsters externally and internally. Santander do not trust their employees, even when they do a good job. Expect heavy audits and sting operations to see how you operate ethically. On the work front, you are micro-managed. Most employees, hardly take their lunch breaks due to the job threats and demands. Any additional hours are not paid as overtime. The pay here for what you do, is poor. In-house job satisfaction questionnaires are supposed to be anonymous, but staff are told that they can be identified. In my experience, trust was a major issue. Plenty of press around managers and senior staff plotting and stealing from customers. You need to keep your whits sharp.
