A fun place due to the characters employed, staff not necessarily good at their jobs and poor management. - Personal Banker Santander Employee Review

Pros

Fun getting to know customers and building rappor with them.

Cons

A lot of promises made to staff about promotions which lead to nothing just to make staff generate more sales. Management move around too much organised by the regional directors which unsettles a team and always has a negative impact on team morale. Cashiers work relentlessly with no real reward and their breaks are monitored to the minute as if they are children at school. It does not feel like you work with professional adults. They make you work 3 Saturday's out of 4.

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.
