Pros

You get paid biweekly, and you don't have to work on Sundays (but you have to work every other day of the week).

Cons

Sales goals are high pressured and extremely impossible for a bank that has an astonishing low amount of traffic. If you reach your goal for commission it will be nothing to raise your eye brow at. Also the incentive structure constantly changes so the employees are less likely to receive commission. If you work the retail side you'll have to be the Jack of all trades and be pressured into exceeding sales goals in at least 9 different areas without the support of any solid leads. The salary pay is extremely low compared to how much they'll over work you. Last but not least Michael McKinney launders commissions/incentives on investments and the company protects him.

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.
