Ocean
Spray Cranberries, Inc.
IT
Systems Analyst Intern – 2014 Summer Internship (PAID)
Overview:
For 80
years, Ocean Spray’s logo has been an enduring symbol of what we stand for—Taste,
health & heritage. We are an
agricultural cooperative formed in 1930 by three cranberry growers who shared a
common goal of expanding the market for their crop. In addition, we are North America’s leading
producer of shelf-stable juice drinks, and continue to be the best-selling
brand name in this category since 1981.
At
Ocean Spray we understand the value of working together, while knowing each
individual plays a vital role in the company’s success. Our business has always been and continues to
be built on people from different
backgrounds, coming together for a common goal.
The same sense of opportunity, resourcefulness and innovation on which
the Cooperative was founded is what drives Ocean Spray today!
