Pros

Remote work is really the only pro I can think of.

Cons

They mis-classify you as a Independent Contractor when in reality you have to be glued to your computer/lap top from 9am - 6pm for their clients. They ask you to work after hours BUT they don't pay you the overtime hours and essentially don't discourage clients for making arrangements with their VA's to work overtime. The pay is $11 an hour and doesn't matter if the client buys a premium package either which is really unethical in my humble opinion. VA's are really skilled IC's and should be paid as such. Don't work for companies like these, just go on Social Media and approach ppl you would like to work with. You can earn up to $40 an hour if you are resourceful enough. that's what I did.

Pros

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.
