Pros

Family atmosphere, salary increases, nice supervisors, get to learn a lot about loan servicing, opportunities to learn are there if you show your interest

Cons

Company seems to favor the Spanish culture and wants to mirror this in the US, such as reconstructing employee work areas to resemble a Japanese assembly line,

Pros

The opportunity to move up within the company is above average.

Cons

BBVA Management does not care about work life balance. They micromanage to a fault. Do not give people the ability to think on their own or outside of the box. They punish rather than reward or push for new ideas. Management leads with a very heavy hammer. I worked for Compass for over 15 years and have seen extreme decline in how employees are treated since BBVA purchased them in 2007 and re-branded in 2009. The upper/senior management states they want to be family friendly and push work life balance but they rarely if ever visit branches to see what is really going on. There are daily threats in reference to work performance. You are punished by taking away family time if you do not have the results they are looking for making you stay at work late into the evening hours or work more on the weekends. This change in how they treat employees led me to leave and after so many happy years there, the last few months were miserable. I haven't looked back with regret even once. They were once an amazing employer with happy staff. The morale is so bad it is thick with stress.

Pros

Always a change happening, never consistent with processes, new technology makes for better customer experience.

Cons

Being global has it's toll on legacy employees, not everyone adaptable and flexible and cooperative.
