      Pros

      I have nothing good to say about this company. They pretend to care about their people when really they don't- it's a facade. I drank the Kool-aid for a while, but eventually their true colors came through. If I had written a review within my first year of employment it would have been different than after 2 years. It takes time to see the true colors of management and leadership.

      Cons

      Most current corporate employees are too afraid to leave an honest review for fear of it being tracked back to them. I know I was! Here's the truth: Leadership is a group of snarky women, think middle school girls playing dress up for work. They put on a great show, selling the corporate culture, praying before meetings, etc. and listing one of their core values as "see something, say something." But the minute you do, prepare to be fired. Their best people have left because the culture has completely changed- gone are the days of the "old" BELAY. The only "old school" BELAY people that are still there are the chosen ones that have played the corporate game, intertwining themselves with the leadership clique. The entire leadership team is crooked and it's really sad. As someone who was hired when the original owners were in place I can honestly say it's tragic how the company has gone down. They also have a history of firing pregnant women and others protected under the disability act.

      Pros

      They have really good clients. They have a good self-paced training program.

      Cons

      They don't look after you as a VA you are completely dispensible. I joined them because they claimed to be a Christian company there's nothing Christian about the way Belay lies, doesn't support people who ask for help, or tacitly rewards bad actors. You are a indentured servant nothing more. They will pay you about 45% of what they make off of you with the client. If they pay you $20 they may charge the client like $48 an hour. They will charge your client 20,000 to buy you in the first year. And then down to 10,000 after a year and a half. If its a small company they wont be able to buy off your "indenture" because thats what it is. They may as well work in private prisons. Also upper management doesn't want to know the truth they just want the money to continue to roll in. This company will probably last forever because it deals in exploitation.

      Pros

      I do not recommend this company.

      Cons

      Company refuses to work with me, despite my having excellent credentials. I was told "...we have no part-time virtual positions available at this time" yet, I see numerous BELAY job postings daily, via my different feeds. The client base that they work with doesn't appear to be completely sold on hiring Virtual Assistants. I was assigned three clients over the past few years. One client threatened to sue BELAY, the second was not trusting of working with a VA and rarely delegated work. The third client was very demanding, cut-throat and rude. At the time, I was juggling being a stay-at-home to my five-year old and working part-time (which was challenging). Now, my five year-old is in school, full-time and BELAY refuses to work with me. Very disappointed with this company.
