Chegg Corporate Office

In October 2000, Iowa State University students Josh Carlson, Mike Seager, and Mark Fiddleke founded Chegg’s forerunner, Cheggpost, a message board for Iowa State students.

The name Chegg is a combination of the words chicken and egg and references the founders’ catch-22 feelings of being unable to obtain a job without experience while being unable to acquire experience without a job.

In December 2007, the company rebranded itself as Chegg and began to focus on renting textbooks to students from any and all colleges, not just Iowa State.

Chegg provides digital and physical textbook rentals, textbooks, online tutoring, and other student services.

As of March 2020, the company reported having 2.9 million subscribers to Chegg Services.

During the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, the controversy around Chegg and companies offering similar services escalated, as many students had to learn from home with uncensored internet access. Georgia Tech alerted students in a physics class that certain students in the class had cheated on their online final exam by using answers posted on Chegg.

Also, certain students in a chemistry class at Boston University were found to have similarly cheated on an online exam, and several students from two chemistry classes at the University of British Columbia were accused of using Chegg for cheating on exams, including using two incorrect answers that had been posted on the website.

In April 2022, Minnesota-native and college basketball superstar Paige Bueckers partnered with Chegg to address student hunger.

Chegg maintains a corporate office in Santa Clara, California.

Citizens Bank Online

Citizen’s Bank can trace its roots back to 1828, when a group of merchants founded the High Street Bank in Providence, Rhode Island. The name was changed to Citizens in 1871.

 The bank then expanded through Rhode Island, opening a total of 29 branches in that state. It established Citizens Financial Group as a holding company when the bank acquired The Greenville Trust Company in 1954.

In 1985, Citizens changed status from a mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank. Expansion into other states began with Massachusetts in 1986.

In May 2017, The Wall Street Journal reported that the US Department of Justice requested records and documents from numerous banks, including Citizens, regarding the Trump 2016 campaign manager Paul Manafort’s transactions.

Manafort reportedly secured a 2.7 million-dollar loan from Citizens in 2016.

In February 2018, Bloomberg News stated that Citizens’ stock price dropped 4.1 percent after U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of Manafort was released, appearing to indicate that Citizens was the “Lender B” cited as having lent 3.4 million dollars to the former campaign manager of President Trump.

Citizens Bank has agreements with multiple grocery stores and other locations to have bank branches located inside their stores, including Giant Eagle, Stop & Shop, as well as Dunkin’ Donuts.

In April 2022, Forbes gave Citizens Bank a favorable review regarding the student loan process.

Kars4Kids Corporate Office

Kars4Kids was founded in 1995 by Eliyohu Mintz and his father, Rabbi Chaim Mintz.  

The company operates a non-profit organization that accepts used cars as donations and then resells the vehicles for cash.

The company states that its mission is “to fund educational, developmental and recreational programs for low-income youth” through programs largely facilitated by its sister charity  Oorah, which focuses on Jewish children and families.

Although not heavily advertised, the company also accepts real estate, yachts, boats, and motorhomes. On average, the company receives about 40,000 cars each year.

Kars4Kids offers financial assistance to students to help pay for private school tuition and testing for GED. The organization also sponsors a youth program known as Chillzone, an after-school program teaching Jewish culture and moral values.

Kars4Kids also sponsors the summer camp TheZone, which operates Jewish sleepaway camps.

They also offer small grants to other nonprofit organizations, such as Girls on the Run International. In 2016, Kars4Kids donated $5,000 to this organization.

In 2011, the company donated hundreds of coats to give away in the city of Newark, New Jersey.

The company faces frequent criticism for not disclosing its religious roots. The company never mentions Jewish children or any religion in its advertisements.

In 2017, a Minnesota Judge discovered that less than 1% of donations actually reach children in Minnesota.

Kars4Kids maintains a corporate office in Lakewood, New Jersey.
