Pros

Benefits are OK. A lot of managers are very fair with treatment and hours worked outside of business hours , compensating them and granting time for personal affairs and appointments. You learn new technologies and methodologies. Ok oportunities to grow.

Cons

Everybody is a manager and a boss. Processes are convoluted and what it is depends on who you ask and what day it is. You have to deal with people who take it upon themselves to put you down with backhanded comments. The company promotes an environment of cooperation and teamwork, but , the implementation from managers in key areas is not there. Backhanded and out of place comments are a natural daily occurence that you either have to deal with or be out the door. It is a very stressfull environment for those people that actually work. If you demonstrate you are competant they will milk you and the person who is not doing anything can continue to not do anything or care regardless.

BBVA COMPASS A COMPANY IN CONSTANT CRISIS

Pros

Talented colleagues and met some of the nicest people working for the company.

Cons

BBVA Compass is one of the most disorganized organization and almost impossible to work for unless you work in more established regions like Texas. Yet if you aren’t working in Texas… beware! Month to month it’s been one surprise after another from reorganizations, layoffs and sudden retirements. Last month I went to my office to find a empty building our entire commercial and wealth management team were let go. Didn't they just hire them 1 years ago? They did this in multiple regions no warning. BBVA Compass hires whole units with big plans then 1 year later the strategy has changed and everyone’s laid off. We make major investments in something a couple months later we decide to change it. This company reacts constantly and has no direction. I wouldn't accepts a job because you have no stability in not being laid off 3 months after accepting. I got out just in time and accepted a offer. Shortly after I was hired about 2 months my goal went up 50% and my managers position was eliminated.
