Pros

I love working from home and being allowed some flexibility with hours. The culture at this company is they care and will bend over backwards to make sure you are happy.

Cons

Promotional potential is slower than I anticipated. I was hoping to see more positions open up with the amount of growth the company is experiencing. It seems like they favor younger people for upper management positions, which really limits them.

Hey, thank you for the review and the feedback, too. About the opportunity for growth. The amount of people who work outside of the ZA role is still relatively small compared to how many ZAs we have. For an idea, it's about a ratio of 1:10—for every 1 "core team" employee we have 10 ZAs. It's really important to us, though, to make opportunities for people within the company. We're all about learning, growing, and developing and we want to make sure that we build a company where people can do that. Who wants to do the same thing over and over forever? A Tony Robbins line sticks out to me here: "The only thing that makes you happy long-term is growing and giving." We're good at the giving (that's what our service is all about) but we want to be better at the growing part. - Collin

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.
