Anyways, back to the question.
Diff banks have diff pay scales. If you are talking about the management associate programmes, believe local banks are paying about $3.5k to $4k. Foreign houses like citi and HSBC may be at c $4.5 to $5k. Again there are diff programmes, so u need to do your own research. Back office ops may pay less. Front office ib or cap mkt will pay more (ie db pays c $10k for ib analysts).
The better programmes are usually not easy to get in and the typical profile of a successful candidate will be min 2nd upper (often first), strong in some cca (sports captain, queen scout, national team), at least 3 to 5 high quality internships and of course good interviewing skills.
So go in w your eyes open. And if you hv any contacts at all within the industry, make full use of them and their contacts. The back door way is probably easier, if you hv such access.

Are MA entitled to bonus during their rotations?

Lots from my batch got sent to these places you called condemned, myself included. Please, back ops make up the bulk of the postings for thats where they need talents due to its sheer size.
Perform better during earlier postings, be noticed. That's the way only way to stand out and get good final assignment postings.
Sadly, you do not even sound like you deserve to be a Management trainee trainee.
Stop the whine, move on.
Be humble, MT program does fast-track you, but does not give you guaranteed success, which we all knew from start.

Get pushed into the sales and back office ops role which people may shy away from/not her personal top choice.

You're a bit too late
TS, not sure if you're aware, most of the banks have closed out on their MA / grad development program hiring for the 2014 intake already. Offers have been made and accepted by this point.

whether mt or not, a regular employee or a clerk, whoever can produce results get to be promoted. in whatever company one works in, he who perform poorly will be asked for his resignation.
Anyway, MA executives always have a slim slim chance of hitting the CEO rank. Board of directors usually choose within their ranks before searching for outsiders.

Thus, choose an industry that you prefer rather than applying for bank programmes and be jobless for a long period of time. If you don't believe, go research more. You are a degree holder, think and act like one. No offence. (:

yea before i enrolled into uni i already know the fact that banking sector is not easy. Anyway i will try my best in everything, thanks for your info
