I understand not as many banks offer credit training programs as were around 20 years ago. Seems like a great opportunity/experience to have starting off. Have talked with a few that still do the credit training and/or management training. Just curious if any of you here know of your bank offering training programs, and when/where the program takes place. Thanks in advance.

I work for a bank. Started as a credit analyst and moved up into underwriting. Very good experience to have. And, actually, the Bank has just instituted a formal credit training program company-wide across all markets instead of just in Louisiana.

Be prepared to be a "worthless bitch monkey" and have long hours.
If you can make it through the analyst program, you will have learned a lot and be very marketable. The jobs are not easy to get, though. Definitely worth it if you can bag one.

I did the two year program with Hibernia in the mid-90's. Very good experience to get, but the pay sucks, the analyst job itself is terribly boring and get ready for some big egos and a whole lot of office politics - there are a lot of personal agenda's with the senior lenders and credit officers that have nothing to do with the best interests of the bank. But all in all, snag it if you can, I've gotten a great career out of it - that experience and being able to speak that language will open doors you can't imagine.
