Pros

Since BBVA has taken over definite technology advances over the prior Compass Bank.

Cons

Where do I start? Complete reduction in staff while increasing of goals and responsibilities while decreasing compensation along with unreasonable sales goals. The sales driven culture of BBVA Compass only encourages unethical behavior and the lack of any adequate staffing is decreasing morale in retail. The DSOM is a micromanager. And there appears little opportunity for advancement. Numerous application internally do not even lead to job interviews after over 10 years of consistent production. Abolition of anyone managing operations has added increased responsibility to sales staff which detracts time from ever growing unobtainable sales goals. The vision of the company has not been shared with employees. The sales driven culture of BBVA Compass has decreased customer service level. If its not revenue generating why should employee be compelled or excited about servicing clients. All and all this job could easily drive a banker to the bottle.

Pros

The job used to be great with a Small bank feel and a huge focus on customer service. We used to have good insurance too.

Cons

Layoffs every November for past two years. For new people there is no proper training. The computer systems are not equal to Chase's in 2009 yet. There is No way to pull sales list, but there are huge sales goals ex. 3.5 mil in loans per year for 1 banker.
