Credit Portfolio Trading. How is it?

I am going to be an SA at a big bank this summer. I just learned I am going to be at the credit portfolio trading desk... To be honest, I don't really know anything about that desk.. How is it comparing to a normal rates, FX, or commodities desk? If this desk is mainly trading or hedging the bank's credit risk associated with its derivative counterparties, does that mean it is not profit generating and thus receives less bonus? Can anyone point out some plus and minus of interning at that desk? Thanks.
