Poor leadership, questionable business practices, and lack of internal controls and infrastructure
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.
