Pros

Virtual/ remote work is a pro

Cons

They take 2/3 of your income as a “matching” cut between you and your client so you will make basically no money. On top of that, they don’t even pay you for hours worked. In my final month I worked my full contracted hours and they paid me for some of them. When I disputed it they told me it was a miscommunication and to basically deal with it because they weren’t paying me. I would never work for them again or recommend them to anyone.

Pros

Work from home is the only perk

Cons

Take the time to look for other jobs before going with Belay. You will get much higher pay and the turnover rate is terrible. The number of people that have left recently is crazy.

Legit Work from Home Oppertunity

Pros

Legit work from home work. Decent pay. Good support from headquarters.

Cons

Taking any sort of time off is a total pain and often not worth it. You are required to make your hours up. Not bad if you have a small client with 30-45 hours per month, but trying to make up a week of hours for a full time client/clients is AWFUL! I've worked during family vacations and holidays just so I don't have to come back and work 40+ hour weeks to make it up. Clients are led to believe we as VA's are making $40/hour, Belay takes approximately a 50% cut from clients before VA is paid. CSC's are not consistent with what the role of VA is from one client to another.

Good afternoon, thank you for writing us an honest review! It's wonderful to hear that you feel supported and enjoy the work-from-home aspect of the role. In regard to your question about carrying hours over, that is best suited to your CSC. They would better be able to directly address your concerns. We absolutely want our contractors to feel trust and we would like the chance to answer your questions if you can submit a support ticket.
