Black History Month is a time to reflect on the significant contributions and achievements Black Americans have made — and continue to make — to our country, our communities and our company.
At Best Buy, we know that diversity matters year-round. That’s why we aim to build teams that reflect our communities across all parts of our business, including our stores, distribution centers and the corporate office.
This month, we’re highlighting three dynamic Black leaders who are helping drive Best Buy forward.
Jiggy Oliva was seeking a place to work for a few months during the 2018 holiday season. He got a job at Best Buy and never left.
He started as a seasonal employee at our distribution center in Compton, California, where his brother, Cesar Cervantes, had started working during the previous holiday season. Jiggy landed a permanent part-time role the following January and is now talking about moving into a full-time role.
“I was just looking to make a little money on the side for the holidays,” he said.
More than 30 percent of our full-time employees started in temporary roles.
Best Buy and the Women's Foundation of Minnesota are teaming up.
Employees recently helped 25 students from the Best Buy Teen Tech Center at Little Black Pearl in Chicago learn how to turn interview stress into career success.
