Pros

Decent vacation time, employees generally nice

Cons

This is a very strange company. At first, it seems to foster employee growth and promote work life balance, but it soon becomes apparent that there is systemic complacency as well as a lack of internal controls, objectives, and clearly defined strategies. Retention here is absolutely appalling from both a client and employee perspective. There is no benefit from being an a strong employee or overachiever here as promotions will always go to those with the longest tenure regardless of competency. As an organization, BBVA tries to do too many competing things at once and ends up doing nothing right. When faced with the reality of the issues, management is unmotivated to enact change. In a time when banking, particularly Retail banking, has become a commodity, BBVA Compass is missing the components necessary to differentiate itself from its competitors.

Pros

Not many, company can't figure out what or who they want to be. Goes through more organizational change than any bank I have ever seen.

Cons

Changing quicker than what the consumer expects and needs to fix its infrastructure first before letting go of its employees as their digital applications aren't strong enough where consumer can bank remotely.

Pros

Nothing to report here really.

Cons

Ill equipped management with lack of leadership, technical, and communication skills and erroneously placed in positions of leadership. Training doesn't exist, poor leadership, and biased towards ethnic groups. Look closely at representation and leadership representation
