After two grueling months of interviews we've finally made a decision on the summer internship. Chad will be working for Procter & Gamble for the summer months of 2009. We're very excited! I'm so proud of him for all of his hard work; it's nice to know that it really does pay off in the end.
Here's some facts about P & G:
- It started as an oils and fats company. Their first two products were candles and soaps.
- 3 billion times a day, P & G products touch the lives of people in 180 countries. Some of our favorites include: Crest, Tide, Puffs, Pringles, Cascade, Covergirl and Gillette. See http://http//www.pg.com/common/product_sitemap.shtml for a complete list of all the products.
- In 2007, P & G made Fortune's top ten most admired companies list. (Other companies included General Electric, Johnson & Johnson, and Apple).
- Their world headquarters is in Cincinnati and some call the main buildings the Dolly Parton Towers due to anatomical reasons that need not be explained:
About Cincinnati:
- Is home to more Fortune 500 companies than Boston. P & G is number 23 on the Fortune 500 list. Cincy is also home to General Electric Aviation which is number 6 (crossing our fingers and praying that our friends go to work here), as well as Kroger, which is number 26.
- Cost of living is lower than the national average. (glorious)
- Home of the Cincinnati Reds, Bengals, and Mighty Ducks.
- Was part of the Underground Railroad and home of Harriet Beecher Stowe (author of Uncle Tom's Cabin)
