Pros

It's a job with mediocre pay.

Cons

Pushing high performance culture, on the surface they pretend to care about staff and customers but its all about the bottomline and outcomes. Constant restructure means upper management look out for themselves and their favourites. Certain managers are left in desperate situations which make them and their team look bad while others step into the roll and get what they want despite poor service. HR team non existent and uneducated, difficult to contact and only via message.

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.
