Pros

Friendly and helpful co-workers: Everyone worked well together and was willing to help out whenever needed.

Independence: My managers really trusted me and allowed me to complete projects on my own, which is saying a lot considering I was a student co-op.

Cons

Most of the work I did was monotonous, so the tasks became boring very quickly. But as I learned more and finished my daily tasks quicker, my supervisor gave me more interesting work.

Advice to Management

Do not be afraid to hire students with little industry experience (at least for internships and co-ops).

I had no industry experience (had not yet even completed any of my finance classes at the time), and I learned a lot and was able to contribute.
