Pros

No one is looking over your shoulder, decent pay for no college education, ability to grow if you get a college education as district management as jobs don't require much job specific skills. Not all people who work at big box stores hate their lives and are bad people, you have potential to build decent relationships. Also, driving sales is becoming less and less important, doing surveys and at least showing you tried goes a long way, you will never get fired for "poor sales", rather, working off the clock, poor dress, or misusing company phone are more likely for discipline.

Cons

management has no clue whats going on on the sales floor, and if you have the misfortune to be a sales rep during a management change it will take months before things run smoothly again. As well, if the manager hired never worked as a sales rep, you are screwed, because he just won't understand what it's like to work in walmart/bestbuy politics. People either grant you floor space for products, help you, or don't care, and management has no understanding of that. It's yes or no depending on the person or day, and there's nothing you can do to change it. Remember when dealing with walmart employees they have no care whether or not you have a good sales pitch to them, they make no commission from it, so no matter how good a salesman you fancy yourself, you will find that this job is not traditional sales job to any degree whatsoever. Oh and btw, commission is a joke, it's cds, dvds, and books... not exactly the best field to get into if you want to make the big bucks.

Most frustrating/depressing job ever

Pros

Not many...pay is okay but doesn't really match up to amount of work expected. Saturdays off.

Cons

Poor communication all around. Misinformation given at job interview that did not pan out: pay per hour, travel pay, bonus money available, hours expected to work. Too many ways of getting information required to do job: voicemail, email, mailbag, daily updates, text messages, constant calls from DM. Constant problems with not receiving materials needed to complete job on time due to issue with corporate Best Buy and yet being held accountable for their mistakes. Being resented by Best Buy employees and management because of corporate decision to hire Anderson Unrealistic job expectations regarding large all day projects. Hours cut but yet still same amount of work expected to be accomplished.

Pros

Self direction, working on your own. You can set your own pace, as long as the work is completed. If you like books movies & music this is a great job.

Cons

Upper management is a joke. Your workplace is Wal-Mart, and that in itself can weigh very heavy on a person. You constantly have to "put out fires" because the Wal-Mart employees are very unpredictable. They usually don't pull their weight.
