The first answer is good.
Something to try:
Try turning the A/C off before you start the car, that will usually give the belts a chance to get a grip before trying to turn the a/c compressor.

Although only a minor irritation now, if the issue is not adressed your belt will fail prematurely. Depending on which belt it is, it could leave you stranded. Check the belt for cracks or glazing. If the belt looks good, then increase the tension slightly. Any $20 repair manual will show you how to do this.

The fan belt is probably wet and that makes it slip and screech until it 'grabs' the rotor and begins spinning correctly. It happens to everyone; there's nothing wrong with your car.

Your belts are wet.
Get the tension adjusted, and have the belt(s) inspected.

It sounds like it could be a belt and it could be to your altenator and it is generally cheap to fix it.
