Rotational programs are b.s. They are systems used by management to get cheap labor in to their companies, and to get them rotated around often enough that the people will not gain enough in terms of skills to merit being given a promotion/enough experience to transfer out to another company in to a better position.

Harsh, but true lol

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Disagree. A company would extract a lot more value from not rotating employees. Assuming 6 month rotations and a training period of a month or two in each position, a lot more work would get done without rotations. Furthermore, the labor is not any cheaper than other entry level labor which could be doing the same work.

As to the OP's question, I would lean towards Capital One. Will almost certainly place better into business school, and a better learning experience. Of course, depends on your plans after b-school and your interests.

I'm not aware of rotational programs that designate a sixth to a third of the time spent in the program for training. quite frankly, I would be shocked if that was the norm - the programs which I am familiar with have short training periods at the beginning and OTJ training from that point forward, with the vast majority of the material being accounting based.

Sure it might not be 1-2 months of official training, but probably a week or two, and then on the job training for the next 3 months until you know what you are doing. The way I see it, they probably get as much work out of you during the full 6 months as the full-timers there can do in maybe 4 months, and the 2 months of productivity lost are at the expense of the company. The point is they are investing in you, and are of course hoping you stay afterwards.
