      Not What I Expected

      Anonymous employee

      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.

      Good Company If you Know the Right People

      Pros

      Assignments are challenging and rewarding.

      Cons

      Easy to get pigeonholed into a project, with no opportunities to learn anything new or move up the corporate ladder. Rampant cronyism and nepotism which is the only way to advance. A lot of catty behavior from all levels of employment at the bank from directors all the way down to contractors. This makes coming to work unbearable.

      Thanks for taking a moment to offer your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and would like to hear more in order to address these issues. Creating a positive environment where team members have opportunities to advance in their careers is important to us, which is why we’ve introduced an internal mobility model to encourage internal talent to apply for other roles within the bank. However, we understand that your complaint lies mainly with opportunities to advance within your area. Additionally, the behavior you describe does not align with our “One Team” value, and we take matters like this seriously. If you have a moment, please connect us at 1-888-474-3575 so we can learn more about your experience.

      Pros

      BBVA Compass puts people in the center of what we do, whether its the client or the employee. They are innovative, caring, supportive, responsible, agile, transparent and have a culture that I feel a part of that is diverse, inclusive and allows for opportunities for career advancement.

      Cons

      We are in a transformative stage with our structure but it is not a con, it is change but exciting and necessary.
