Santander reviews

Absolutely terrible. I came from another bank where the roles were well carved out and everyone in the branch knew who serviced what type of customers. Santander tempted me with a higher salary. I made the mistake of going over. My branch manager was awful and colluded with the other banker behind my back. I was spied on so she could ride me about cell phone use, being one minute late (literally) to a branch that experienced very little foot traffic. District manager who knew nothing about actual sales said I should avoid the casual conversation I used (which proved effective considering I booked over $3 million at my other employer) and use this canned crap on an excel sheet. Was this a joke? You are micromanaged down to the minute where they review your microsoft calendar constantly. All in all, if I was serious about staying in the industry I would have left a week or two after experiencing Santander culture. Stay far, far away from this place.

Not good when it comes to protecting staff or sticking to the policy and job spec. Sometimes I'm left to do my subordinates Job role and don't have enough time for my own. Staff levels in branch are always bad.
