F500: Shared Services Role vs. Operating Company Role

Can anyone shed some light on what the main differences in experience might be between these roles, as a FT financial analyst (I'm not one.) My goal is to eventually transition into a corp. strat. role - not sure that would be possible directly after a FLDP. So, I'd like to plan this out for a back-up plan.

I would assume that shared services would offer more opportunities to network; however, from what I'v heard, it can be fairly isolated.

Any thoughts?
