Pros

It used to be Guaranty Bank

Cons

The technology is terrible. Only 65 branches in the state of CA and no plans to grow here. No advertising. It doesn't even say bank anywhere on the sign. Not too many people in CA know who or what BBVA Compass. A lot of turnover.

Pros

Commercial Bankers are allowed to sell loan products that are typically restricted to specialty lending groups at other, more established commercial banks. Healthcare lending and Governmental lending products are examples.

Cons

-Poor quality management that the bank has hired from other competitor commercial banks. To put it simply, in my observation, BBVA Compass has hired many bankers that were poor performers, politicians, micro-managers, tricksters and generally people that you don't want to work for from other banks and brought them on as managers. This makes for a sickening work environment, where your BBVA Compass managers take credit for your work/closed deals behind closed doors, monitor your emails and your whereabouts, create spies, and report to HR behind your back. Sound appetizing? -Poor training and HR department. Watch your back (and your emails). They are not on the employees' side. -Lack of any work/life balance, coupled with severe micro-management and long commutes, since the bank doesn't have offices or branches in major metropolitan areas in California. -No investment in branches or Commercial banking, in a world where the Big 4 banks dominate in pricing, structure and reputation. -Too much power and oversight given to the overseers who really shouldn't be in management at all. Stay away.
