How are CRE Teams/Experience at Commercial Banks Viewed?

Quick background before getting to my question... Currently I work in a back office role in lifeco's CRE group. I've cross-trained a bit with our credit team and I liked the work. Down the road, I'd like to get some experience in Asset Management or in acquisitions.

How would experience as a credit analyst at a commercial bank be viewed, either in general or with regard to the considerations above? I may have an opportunity to pursue a credit analyst position at a large commercial bank (think Citi, TD, BOA, WF) and am curious how those shops and that experience are viewed by the industry.
