No work/life balance and does not care about their people
Pros
The opportunity to move up within the company is above average.
Cons
BBVA Management does not care about work life balance. They micromanage to a fault. Do not give people the ability to think on their own or outside of the box. They punish rather than reward or push for new ideas. Management leads with a very heavy hammer. I worked for Compass for over 15 years and have seen extreme decline in how employees are treated since BBVA purchased them in 2007 and re-branded in 2009. The upper/senior management states they want to be family friendly and push work life balance but they rarely if ever visit branches to see what is really going on. There are daily threats in reference to work performance. You are punished by taking away family time if you do not have the results they are looking for making you stay at work late into the evening hours or work more on the weekends. This change in how they treat employees led me to leave and after so many happy years there, the last few months were miserable. I haven't looked back with regret even once. They were once an amazing employer with happy staff. The morale is so bad it is thick with stress.
