Pros

Mostly good work hours. Good life insurance policy.

Cons

Upper management is poorly educated in making overall financial decisions for the company. In Colorado there is a major staffing issue and each branch may have a staff of only 2 people. I have worked in the financial industry for 10+ years and the overall strategy and support at BBVA Compass is the worst I have ever encountered. Sales goals are fairly impossible because they change them constantly, hard to get any bonuses if your annual numbers have changed 3 + times. Also you are not given the tools or resources to meet them....you are just expected to figure it out. The training is horrible and their is no one qualified to train anyone because their turnover is so high. They have major problems from the top down and have no real clear path of fixing them. I would not recommend to any sane person.

Pros

BBVA as a whole, it has a very friendly work environment and has a unique culture unlike any other bank in midtown

Cons

That being said, any team or department that lefts unchecked can end up becoming toxic which happened at my team. There was a VP/ED who was mistreating me to a point where it was a violation of the code of conduct and was impacting my overall internship experience and my chances at a full time job because this ed/vp was allowed to mistreat based on personal biases against me. I reported it to our manager during our midterm meeting to which I phrased it as “he was in violation of the code of conduct and has been abusive”. Instead he yelled at me during the meeting because he didn’t want to lose someone who downgraded from a BB that he got for cheap. He said in the end of the meeting he would talk with the Ed/vp but a month later he pulled me into a room with HR and said today was the last day of my internship. Very unprofessional as he clearly sided with the toxic Ed/vp and booted me out because he didn’t want to lose the Ed/vp even if he was in violation of the code of conduct. Horrible experince and everyone in my team failed to uphold to professional decency. As long as everyone in that team is still there would not recommend this team at BBVA unless something structurally changes.
