Pros

Excellent training - full month of webinars and hands-on computer experience in a group of new hires. Lots of opportunities to ask questions and feel confident about your duties. They have downsized tech support but have supplemented the online FAQ so you can find what you need by searching key words.

Cons

Upper management is stretched too thin in visiting branches - they don't see the day to day issues: too many huddles and report backs and not enough lobby management- especially when it's busy and there are multiple vendors in line with multiple transactions and a couple quick transaction customers who are stuck behind waiting. More effective lobby management to talk about other ways to deposit or to take deposits would help. Branch managers should not be putting office tasks like copying, filing on tellers who already have more than enough checks to order, change orders to fill, accounts to research for customers who resist online banking, all the day to day tasks to finish.

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.
