Category Manager
“GPC's MBA internship is well-structured and offers the opportunity to work with a variety of players cross-functionally while completing a project that is clearly impactful to the company. As a person in their mid-twenties, I also never expected that I'd get to take part in meetings/one-on-one networking sessions with executives like Will (President), Bert (CFO), Naveen (CIO), and Paul (CEO). Not many MBA candidates are afforded the opportunity to establish meaningful connections in the way offered here.”

“The program was great. My manager and the entire legal team were helpful, gave me important work, provided me with a lot of connections, and were a pleasure to get to know. The opportunities for the interns to network with each other, employees, and executives were great! Additionally, the events were fun, rewarding, and well planned. The free food was also awesome!”
