Pros

Zirtual is a virtual personal assistant job. You can have as few as 2 or 3 clients or upwards of 7 or more, depending on the service level you agree to take. You have the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting people from different areas of the country. You also get to virtually meet your team members via their online chat. Training is good. Team leaders are nice..everyone is helpful.

Cons

The challenge working here is you must be able to hit the ground running. When you agree to take on a client, you need to be certain that you fully understand the tasks they need completed. When a client is not happy, you as the ZA will have to accept the blame no matter who is at fault. Three complaints to upper management about your work performance and you are out of job.

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.
