I'm also a young developer that works with COBOL, but I work in the insurance sector. The environment you describe is also how it's like here. And I've never worked with such nice and intelligent people!
One thing I really love about this environment is you learn a lot about the business area when working with COBOL, since the business logic is so plainly written in many programs. I don't like using the term "self-documenting code," but COBOL is really close to that.
