Pros

As I've shown aptitude and skills in certain areas I have been given additional responsibilities and opportunities to advance and hone my skills. The salary and benefits are great, I genuinely like my coworkers, and I have had the two best managers of my career while working here. We are a team and each jump in to help whenever needed. Sometimes I put in extra hours but I'm rewarded by flexibility of schedule when needed and the ability to work from home at night rather than stay late in the office. The decision to come to BBVA Compass is one of the best decisions of my life.

Cons

There could be better communication about company-wide prioritization of projects. There are lots of projects, both big and small, going on at the same time and when needing work or assistance from other groups it's difficult to determine which project is the higher priority.

Not What I Expected

Pros

Since I’ve only been with the bank a short time, I’m still observing. So far, the people are ok and some are friendlier than others. Having the option to work remotely is a huge plus although it’s only day a week and I hope that changes to give employees who want to permanently work from home that option.

Cons

Open concept floor plan. There is absolutely no privacy since there are no partitions or cubicles to drown out any noise. No formal training for new employees in specific departments. It’s almost similar to a “sink or swim” situation. You are not gained system access in a timely manner and they have antiquated ways to process their closing documents that is not streamlined and very time consuming. And the TL’s & managers micromanage depending on what department you’re in.
