Could be great, but entire upper management is in disarray, and makes changes before thinking of consequences. - Retail Relationship Manager BBVA Employee Review

Pros

Competitive pay for a retail bank; they host an annual all expense trip for top performers; standard benefits (401k, etc)

Cons

The company has been restructuring job roles, policies, procedures, and management...the problem is, they made all of these changes and had absolutely nothing figured out as to how the changes were going to be implemented. They are adopting the Wells Fargo/Chase model...sales of units matters more than long term relationship and volume of sales. Absolutely the worst technology I have ever seen...(we use Windows 98 to operate, all systems are antiquated and segmented, back office support is nonexistent)

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.
