Pros

Reasonable pay compared to other local banks.

Cons

Lack of quality management. Employee moral is extremely low. You are constantly belittled by upper management and are encouraged to NOT engage in a team like atmosphere. You can hear a pin drop in the office because everyone is told not to talk or laugh (even if you are on a legit business call with another business partner). There is absolutely no structure and no official training. You are told to do things one way and then you get reprimanded by management when things do not work out. Sadly everyone is throwing each other under the bus and there is no loyalty whatsoever.

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.
