I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Santander (New York, NY) in May 2013
Interview
apply online on their website. Then had an in branch interview with the branch manager. Then HR called me to ask me questions and had a telephone interview. HR then called me to offer the position and talk to me about pay and benefits. I was called in for training.
It was straightforward. Applied online. Got a call to schedule a in-person interview with the branch manager. Questions were simple. Come prepared with answer about questions regarding customer service. Also emphasize your ability to upsell products and services the bank offers. That will really catch your interviewer's attention.
Sit down with the district manager who asks you basic interview questions. Asked about my experience, and other common interview questions. Overall it was pretty painless and not bad to get through.
