Vantaggi

I have had many opportunities at Santander that probably would not have been available to me elsewhere. The people working for Santander are (on the whole) warm, friendly and genuinely want to do their best.

Svantaggi

Discrimination (when it does occur, albeit rarely) isn't take seriously. Senior management are often unwilling to invest in staff, and when staff make suggestions about improvements it is often left to the person suggesting ideas to implement them (without support). Your job role can change significantly over the years, meaning the job you start off in might not be the same 2-3 years down the line. Experienced and capable staff are often the first to leave.

Vantaggi

Of all the companies I have worked for, Santander has had the strongest training program. The training was comprehensive, well-structured, and especially valuable for employees who are new to the banking industry. Additionally, Santander's ONE software is by far the most intuitive and user friendly banking platform I have used, making it easy to learn and navigate while supporting efficient daily operations.

Svantaggi

Like most retail banking roles, there is a strong sales component. With fewer customers visiting branches due to online banking and ATMs, much of the day is spent making outbound calls to existing clients, trying to set appointments, and push products and services. While I understand the importance of sales in the industry, I personally felt there was significant pressure to prioritize sales goals over relationship building and client service, which I was not comfortable with.
