Before hand I went in and created categories in the same names that were in the "product_category" column. When the import completed, it lumped everything together under the product category directory. How do I get the products to load into the individual categories set forth for them?

The column where you can write the name of the category of the product is called "categories". That's why the system put all the products in your main category since it didn't find any "categories" column in your CSV.
