Pros

Excellent training - full month of webinars and hands-on computer experience in a group of new hires. Lots of opportunities to ask questions and feel confident about your duties. They have downsized tech support but have supplemented the online FAQ so you can find what you need by searching key words.

Cons

Upper management is stretched too thin in visiting branches - they don't see the day to day issues: too many huddles and report backs and not enough lobby management- especially when it's busy and there are multiple vendors in line with multiple transactions and a couple quick transaction customers who are stuck behind waiting. More effective lobby management to talk about other ways to deposit or to take deposits would help. Branch managers should not be putting office tasks like copying, filing on tellers who already have more than enough checks to order, change orders to fill, accounts to research for customers who resist online banking, all the day to day tasks to finish.

Pros

Why in the world anyone would say anything positive about this bank. I regretted working there. Wasted my 2 years working at Conpass bank. Bad bad bad.

Cons

Everything. Careless culture. All about sales. Human resources look for reasons to terminate staff. Every year they lay off employees. Bad place to work. Bad company. Stay away.

Pros

Large global bank with good market share in Mexico Can participate in syndications. Bank is mostly unknown in US corporate circles Reputation is tarnished if bank is known by outsiders

Cons

Cannot lead agent any standard corporate financing Management has difficulty conceptualizing, organizing and implementing organizational improvements Spanish parent was bailed out (lucky for them) Desire to compete with the big US banks not matched by the quality, talent or execution intensity from the Spanish/US executives Approvals are slow. Underwriters and executives have difficulty with basic lending and capital markets concepts. Little accountability exists. Very few perform at standard levels. Compass acquisition is likely a $9 billion write-off if the bank was sold today Zombie bank owned by a zombie parent
