Continually lay off people only to open the position again several months later. I saw this repeatedly in my time there.

Pros

Opportunities to learn and acquire new skills, and grow a career.

Cons

Severely understaffed and short staffed. It's an ongoing problem during my entire tenure with Santander Bank. Also, too much incompetence that is not addressed, or worse - rewarded due to favoritism and genderism.
