Pros

Support samsung. Lots of variety. Not standing in one retail location for hours

Cons

So I was turned on to this company by somebody else. I heard they were launching a new program in merchandising. I was contacted by a recruiter and was hired on the spot. I completed by training online and was told I'd be contacted by my DM regarding a training day and/or first day of work. Well I was told one person was my DM but was contacted by a different person who was apparently the real DM. We spoke for a bit but nothing regarding training. The next day I see that I have visits scheduled. Well... what am I suppose to do?? I've completed the surveys for each retail location as given, but the surveys some stores can take literally minutes. So what's next? I've literally driven over 200 miles in two days and was gone for a full 8 hours yesterday, but will only get paid for the time I'm in the stores. So MAYBE 3 or 4 hours if that, plus mileage. I just can't see that justifying the wear and tear on my car and oil for what I'm paid. Which is just $10/hr... I'm just not sure what to think right now. This is a secondary job for me, but would LOVE to support samsung. So this is my impression after being with the company for just a week! I truly hope it gets better, but after another week or so of no direction, I can't continue to drive 300 or so miles per week for this.

Pros

Average pay Flexible hours Cool products

Cons

If you’re applying for the Meta Sales Specialist role, be prepared to take an excessive amount of photos as part of your daily work. From what I’ve seen, this doesn’t feel like a Meta requirement — it seems driven more by My2020. I highly doubt Meta needs employees taking this many photos of customers or Best Buy associates. You’re required to be in many of the photos yourself, and they must be high quality to be accepted in your surveys. If they aren’t, management will stay on you constantly, and at times it can feel borderline threatening. As the program goes on, the nonstop photo‑taking overshadows the actual sales responsibilities, and you start to feel less like a sales rep and more like a photographer. I’ve done many programs for this company over the years, and none have ever required this level of photo documentation. Honestly, the role should be called “Meta Photo Taking & Sales Specialist.” If you enjoy taking photos of customers, Best Buy associates, and everything else all day long — along with several other unusual requirements — then this program might be for you. Otherwise, be aware of what you’re signing up for.
