Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
