Pros

Awesome company culture with emphasis on education Awesome awesome people. The HR dept does an incredible job of only bringing in the best Fairly independent work Great support from management Truly remote work - I never met in person a single person I worked with! Was able to work all over the world

Cons

Pay isn't great No financial incentive to stay long term unless you take on more clients (more hours) or become a manager Some difficult clients who expect work on some specialized projects which they should be paying much much more money for (management however is quite helpful with difficult clients) Was asked to work on several projects without pay (I did not volunteer my time, but it looks bad if you don't volunteer...)

For a VA starting out you are provided customers right away.

Cons

All customers are ready to work with VA, causing slow ramp-ups and some clients disappearing

Pros

Zirtual now includes Double, Virtual Gurus, Delegated, and Del Trust. We are under the umbrella of PennSpring Capital so this cash cow is not going anywhere.

Cons

They take 50% of the client's fee; we pay a 30% Federal tax + State tax on the remainder, in addition to sourcing our own software and equipment. They say we can turn down client offers BUT they rarely send clients since the acquisitions. When they do, it is hard not to accept because it could be months before they send another. Management says, "we are waiting for a client that matches you." Meanwhile, they continue to hire new Virtual Assistants. Team meetings now include a justification for continued hired despite the massive under use of our existing team. When I started, I earned 3x times more than what I am making now. I can tell you from experience, it is really hard to plan meals for someone when you are starving.
