Pros

Compass offers very good base salary and additional benefits like longer vacation time compared to other banks with the same level of experience

Cons

Saying the companies technology is behind is an understatement. They still use old command systems to get the job done. They are starting to try to bring their systems more up to date but the old employees seem to not like the changes and there is no cooperation which means technology advancement is not going anywhere. As a newer employee this is terrible since you will constantly be told different ways to do things and believe me neither way is productive. Their incentives are also a lot less compared to other companies I have worked for and management seems unwillingness to tell this to their employees until weeks after they take the job (I know multiple people who had the same issue at different locations)

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.
