Could be great

Pros

Gracious PTO and sick time, however good luck using it if your branch doesn't have appropriate staff; Management is either great and supportive or despondent and micromanage. The sales goals for the teller line are modest and could be easily achieved if they had proper, ongoing sales training and an incentive plan that will actually be noticed after taxes.

Cons

Staffing. Nearly all the branches in the Denver area are severely understaffed. They will pull from one branch to cover another so now two branches are functioning with too little staffing. When I first started my position, I was the only person on the teller line. For months it was 6 days a week, with no lunch breaks. They keep trying to keep up with new technology, but the main systems to preform the simplest of tasks are consistently crashing. One would think you'd fix foundation issues before trying to create new platforms that will ultimately fail.. The on-boarding and training process needs a dramatic overhaul. Career advancement is difficult here. If your goal is advancement and you don't want to be a BRE (branch manager), you have hit a wall.

BBVA doesn't care for their employees

Pros

You get paid biweekly, and you don't have to work on Sundays (but you have to work every other day of the week).

Cons

Sales goals are high pressured and extremely impossible for a bank that has an astonishing low amount of traffic. If you reach your goal for commission it will be nothing to raise your eye brow at. Also the incentive structure constantly changes so the employees are less likely to receive commission. If you work the retail side you'll have to be the Jack of all trades and be pressured into exceeding sales goals in at least 9 different areas without the support of any solid leads. The salary pay is extremely low compared to how much they'll over work you. Last but not least Michael McKinney launders commissions/incentives on investments and the company protects him.
