Pros

Since BBVA has taken over definite technology advances over the prior Compass Bank.

Cons

Where do I start? Complete reduction in staff while increasing of goals and responsibilities while decreasing compensation along with unreasonable sales goals. The sales driven culture of BBVA Compass only encourages unethical behavior and the lack of any adequate staffing is decreasing morale in retail. The DSOM is a micromanager. And there appears little opportunity for advancement. Numerous application internally do not even lead to job interviews after over 10 years of consistent production. Abolition of anyone managing operations has added increased responsibility to sales staff which detracts time from ever growing unobtainable sales goals. The vision of the company has not been shared with employees. The sales driven culture of BBVA Compass has decreased customer service level. If its not revenue generating why should employee be compelled or excited about servicing clients. All and all this job could easily drive a banker to the bottle.

Pros

They were good about allowing us to work from home when family problems arose, but once they were bought ou by BBVA, family did't seem to matter anymore

Cons

Starting pay was realy good, but don't expect a meaningful raise while there. If you wanted to move up in that organization, you had to quit, come back as a contractor, then they would bring you on as a manager for the department you were contracted to. BIG time good ol' boy politics in play there. If you are hired to perform a job, but can't do it, you will be promoted so that you as the new supervisor can hire somebody to do the job you were hired to do. RUN, don't walk away from any offers they make for employment.
