Pros

Great benefits and pay is pretty good. I've been able to negotiate my pay as well.

Cons

Very fake corporate family vibes and that really prevents you from feeling connected to anyone in power above you. I guess some people just do it without thinking but you definitely feel excluded when you dont do all the fake corporate things that they do.

Pros

- A steady job. Banks aren't going anywhere any time soon, especially a huge one like Santander - It looks okay on a resume. It shows you're trustworthy and can handle some real responsibilities. - There is an incentive plan (lacking but still there) - Good benefits.

Cons

- Sales role at the forefront. Don't expect to be able to stay at this job and feel great about selling credit cards to whoever you can. - Arbitrary rules that don't make sense. There are too many to list, but you will ruin many of these. - No room for real growth in the company. Many people are in the same position after 5-10 years. You will rarely make it out of the branch if you aren't willing to dedicate your life to this company. - Terrible hours. 8:30 is when your day starts. And it often ends after 5:30 or 6 pm. There is also weekend work since they're open on Saturdays. Getting time off can be a nightmare because they don't like to allow multiple people to be on leave at once, even during holiday seasons. - Way, way, way too many mandatory training videos that you're just going to forget in 5 minutes. - You have to deal with annoying customers just as much as the good ones, it not more. - Half the time you're playing tech support and you forget that you have a fancy job title as a "Banker". - Upper management in the company has an obvious disconnect with in-field employees.
