Pros

If you're interested in working for a Fin. Institution that has placed their focus on remaining relevant via technology then Bbva Compass is the place to be. From our Award Winning Mobile App for consumers to our best-in-class Healthcare centric payment automation platform, BBVA is deeply committed and rooted in the FinTech revolution. They know the future is happening right now, every single day. Salary is best in the industry. Variable comp plan has a cap but it's still very strong and you can make more money than you've ever made before in your career. Management is a who's who of reputable industry experts. They work constantly to push us and lead us to new heights. Don't come to work for BBVA if you're not a self-starter and need an answer every 5 seconds from your new boss. That's not why you were hired. Everybody on our entire team is busy all day, every day and not just busy looking busy, truly busy. We're building something very special here. You will be disappointed if you need your hand held for the first six weeks, it won't happen. Global Financial Institution backing but structured to operate like a lean, agile small business in every department. This improves productivity and reduces red tape.

Cons

If you work in an "expansion market" be prepared to add "Guerrilla Marketing Expert" to your resume. BBVA is committed to helping develop the brand in all their markets but you have to be proactive and do it yourself every single opportunity you have. Handout flyers door to door. It might not even be a great prospect, deliver it still. This takes time and prolongs the sales cycle. Small price to pay

Pros

BBVA as a whole, it has a very friendly work environment and has a unique culture unlike any other bank in midtown

Cons

That being said, any team or department that lefts unchecked can end up becoming toxic which happened at my team. There was a VP/ED who was mistreating me to a point where it was a violation of the code of conduct and was impacting my overall internship experience and my chances at a full time job because this ed/vp was allowed to mistreat based on personal biases against me. I reported it to our manager during our midterm meeting to which I phrased it as “he was in violation of the code of conduct and has been abusive”. Instead he yelled at me during the meeting because he didn’t want to lose someone who downgraded from a BB that he got for cheap. He said in the end of the meeting he would talk with the Ed/vp but a month later he pulled me into a room with HR and said today was the last day of my internship. Very unprofessional as he clearly sided with the toxic Ed/vp and booted me out because he didn’t want to lose the Ed/vp even if he was in violation of the code of conduct. Horrible experince and everyone in my team failed to uphold to professional decency. As long as everyone in that team is still there would not recommend this team at BBVA unless something structurally changes.
