BBVA Compass Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've worked for BBVA Compass Bank for the last 2 year very nice bank"

"Terrible environment!! Really biased company & all they care about is sales!! They do not believe in doing what is in the customers best interests. They do not value truly good employees & leave employees in very dangerous positions. Staffed terribly & employee turnover is the worst I have ever seen."

"Started out as a decent job, but new management was not pro employee as the previous one. No opportunities for growth or salary raise."

"Great company, great culture. I've worked at BBVA for a little over 2 years. The company has a sales system with metrics. The categories are branch revenue, new household accounts, lending volume and partnership referrals. Depending on the level banker, if you meet your numbers, you will receive a quarterly incentive."

"I have been in banking for over 8 years. Wells Fargo and now BBVA. I've learned a lot in my years working for both firms but BBVA was the next level up for me in my career. I learned a lot about interest-bearing accounts and work with many affluent clients. Their mission is to truly help every client succeed financially and take pride in building extended relationships with our clients."

"Great company and the management team is very supportive. Only thing is there are only two BBVA Compass's in the Central Valley which makes it difficult for growth."

"Excellent place to work at. Some loose connections between various groups which makes it harder to achieve required solutions."

"A large global company that is continuing to grow both nationally and globally. Very open to change and finding ways to increase customer satisfaction while meeting the important strategic initiatives. A very diverse company that is always looking for ways to help employees grow and develop."

"BBVA Compass is a great place to work and I have learned a lot. I have worked in almost all aspects of the banking domain and have delivered every time. Started as a mobile app tester and finished as a lead on the mortgage team. Worked in more than 50 projects and worked throughout the sdlc, stlc and agile scrum environments."

"I've worked in BBVA Compass for 3 years and was a good experience."

"I had a bad experience working there. My direct supervisor did not like me for personal reasons. She then used that against me and used any way she could to railroad me away from her department."

"I would say that the company is still seeking it's way here."

But don't get caught in the golden handcuffs!"

What don't you like about working at BBVA Compass?

"Politics means that managers don't lead, they defend or attack. There's inadequate training, so many people don't know if they're doing the right thing. Too much depends on knowledge stuck in individuals heads, so there is a reliance on heroes, who work too hard, complain, yet defend their status by refusing to share their knowledge."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Flatten the org chart so management and staff work more closely. Use dedicated teams to work on specific single projects. Recognize achievements. Massively improve internal communications. Improve the work environment to support teamwork. Pay bonuses to teams, not to individuals."

What don't you like about working at BBVA Compass?

"Their organizational culture is at odds with what would make a difference in the market right now. Way too conservative, way too we don't do things like that round here, boy, way too change averse in an ever changing world. My boss tells you not to do the things that need to be done to protect herself in case it fails. We rely on heroes rather than developer great teams."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Empower employees, work in dedicated teams on single projects, as my employees how to do it, not tell them what to do."
