Pros

-Promotions are based on skill -You will be mostly left alone if you preform well -Great bonuses and employee ranking system, makes the work fun and competitive -Easy to take time off, because you're one of 500 employees doing the same thing. You individual job isn't necessary for the business to go about it's business

Cons

-Customer calls are somewhat micro-managed, which makes it harder to collect due to the robotic cadence. You have to learn how to naturally hit -Lots of mandatory overtime -Training is from people who have never done the job -Company will do away with you without question, even if you're their most productive and successful employees

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
