Pros

You get to work with some very nice interesting people from all over the world, and clients that you wouldn't normally meet if you worked in an office 9 to 5. Everyone is very helpful and they have a family atmosphere. Working from home as a full time job is awesome! Work/life balance is good. Growing company with staying power.

Cons

It can be a challenge to get and keep full time clients. Recent changes have made working here a bit chaotic because they keep changing the rules, procedures and employment requirements. It is a young company with a young attitude which can be hard for established CEO's and business people to grasp and can seem a bit unprofessional.

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.
