Ask HN: Should I take a job at a bank?

I am a junior with a fairly technical background. The only offer I have been able to acquire for next summer so far is an Application Development position with a large bank, in their San Francisco office. I worked for this same company last summer in Chicago.

It pays $37 an hr, and is in a great location. I have not heard back from any other companies, and do not have any promising leads. I feel like I won't be able to find a better position than this offer I have now. However, I do not want to work for this bank again, as banks have a bad reputation.

Do people think working at a bank is valuable experience? Would it be a good work environment for tech in the bay area?
