Cons

Honestly in the couple months have been working at BBVA Compass, my manager has not worked a full work week. He takes 2 hour lunch breaks then disappears through out the day. Also, during the interview before you accept the job, he tells you that all employees rotate working on saturdays--including him. That is not true and don't believe it. Manager has never worked a saturday during my tenure. Worse, rather than accepting responsibility for their own errors, manager tells district that the employees are responsible which in turn ruins employees chances of promotions and growth within the company. Lastly, do not believe that you will ever receive an incentive...it is not true. I have surpassed all my quarterly goals by reaching at least double (in some cases quadruple) of what was expected of me only to find out that because of some "new technicality" I would not be receiving any incentive or bonus pay for my hard work. Additionally, manager CANCELLED christmas dinner because district allegedly cut the xmas budget by $50. Point is, your manager and district do not care about promoting a corporate culture that fosters group bonding in the work place. You will not receive any bonus or incentives so don't bank on it. Also, be prepared to work every other Saturday. Don't plan on using your vacation during the holidays to visit your family; thats when the manager uses his "official" vacation days (mind you, they're technically on vacation every week but rig their mytime so no one knows). And Last but certainly not least, no one in this company has a clue what they are doing. You cannot ask your manager a question because they will tell you to "look it up" and when you look it up, the information is usually incomplete in some way.
