For a long time fruit juices other than orange juice (and prune juice) were largely the domain of young children. I’m not sure why this was, but I still to this day feel like a kid when I drink juice. Over the past few years we’ve seen juice gain in popularity – not grape or apple juice, but more exotic juices like pomegranate, cherry, and acai. POM Wonderful has been one of the companies that profited the most from the upswing in adult juice consumption. Maybe it’s all of the health benefits of the pomegranate that is convincing adults to hit the juice. It’s hard to not like something that improves cardiovascular and prostate health while also improving erectile function. Not to mention that pomegranates are loaded with antioxidants. With those health benefits and great marketing, POM Wonderful is primed for continued success – they’re the largest producer of pomegranates in the United States.
How could you not want to intern for a company with “Wonderful” in its name? They make delicious juices, they have clever packaging, and creative ads. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have a solid internship program. What they do have, according to their Facebook page, is a one week New York Fashion Week Backstage Pass/Internship program. It’s to promote their POMx Iced Coffee product, and it sounds like a fantastic opportunity to learn a lot in a short time. The whole application process happens on Facebook, so go here if you’re interested.
What about real internships with POM Wonderful? We can’t find anything online, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. POM Wonderful has a Careers page where they may or may not post internships in the future. Since there’s no way to apply for an unlisted job, I recommend that you use POM Wonderful’s Contact page to inquire about internships. Don’t just ask though. Tell them why you love pomegranates and think an internship with POM Wonderful would be… er… wonderful. Maybe you can convince them to take you on as an intern. From what I can tell, the most likely place for them to take interns would be at their office in West Los Angeles, CA. Good luck.
