What's the WSO view of Lloyds Bank in London?

Alright monkeys. I was recently offered an FT grad role in Lloyds Bank's Commercial Bank in London. Having had a look through previous posts on the board, I couldn't find much in the way of discussion about people's experience working in the Bank or the general view of Lloyds from the rest of the industry.

Anyone have any experience and/or an opinion of Lloyds? Are they a good bank? Would it be worth joining?
