Careful doing the Best Buy Samsung TV shops

I did one last week. I've done many of these shops. They want to walk around for 20 minutes looking for a Samsung Rep in a black shirt. The problem is many of the Samsung Reps in Best Buy wear a blue Best Buy shirt. On this shop I did not see any Samsung rep in a black shirt. I asked a store employee about the Samsung Rep. The employee said they were the Samsung Rep, they left their black shirt in the wash. If I had not asked, I would have wasted 20 minutes in the store walking around. Other times I did this; the shop was accepted. It appears this editor is a hard A$$.

I have been lucky to encounter the samsung rep every time in a black shirt! I have actually learned alot about TVs. I don't have a samsung but my TV does more than I realized. I go home and say damn... didn't know it did that! They keep almost selling me on those sound bars too.
Some of the editors work for more than one company and have …issues.

I gave notice at one MSC noting it was due to the hassles, income loss, literal harassment, and inaccurate report rejections with a particular editor (choosing my words carefully and providing proof. Examples: incorrectly demanding early submissions, repeatedly pulling assignments as complete before due dates, incorrectly dinging me when I followed required scenarios, not reading the (often poorly written guidelines and questions.

They investigated and learned my concerns were valid, compensated me for my work and asked me to come back with bonuses.

Same editor showed up at another company. Same scenario. They sided with the editor and I reassigned, then discovered numerous complaints about the MSC here and at the BBB, Trustpilot, and they’d also been booted from MSPA over manufacturing reasons not to pay shoppers and pocket all the fees.

There’s good and bad everywhere so I’ve learned to print/PDF and save screen shots of all instructions, emails, texts, and submissions until I’m paid.

I also have no problem leaving a toxic situation. It’s not worth the stress, wasted time, and lost income.

Advocate for yourself as best you can with your scheduler and the management. If it works, yay! If not, move on and don’t look back. You’re better off without them.
I got dinged on mine because I didn't speak to a best buy rep before the samsung rep but the samsung rep came right up to me and started talking. It isn't like I can say hey wait a few I need to talk to a best buy rep before you lol.
