5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme that I completed did not feel very structured. All of my workbook was lost by the first course manager, and all of the visits seemed structured to an extent but not in a way that I knew what I was going to be doing.

I felt although I did not receive a lot of support, and felt like I just wanted to hurry up and get the sessions over with as I felt I was a hinderance.

It does now meet it quite well, but only since I have moved to the Fraud contact centre

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

I do not feel as though there are any, no.

2/10

9. Would you recommend Santander to a friend?

9b. Why?

It takes a lot of time to move to any other departments and even though you are advised that there is a lot of chances to progress, I do not feel like this is the case.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Santander?

I would advise a friend to only consider it as a short term role and if they are wanting to progress they will have to work here for many years before any roles would be considered.
