Pros

I started with Zirtual in August of 2021 hoping to gain more flexibility in my schedule compared to my previous job; and wow, Zirtual has become just that for me! After getting hired on to the company, the Account Supervisors will assist in matching you with clients based on their needs and your experience-so workloads do vary from client to client. Currently, my workload ranges from research, scheduling, to personal assisting tasks, and the other 'loose ends' my clients need help with. I love how each day is full of new To-Do lists and new client offers come all of the time to keep things interesting. With the office hours and the response time policy, I get to make my schedule for each day- which I absolutley love!! The management team is extremely responsive and supportive. We have internal 'challenges' to participate in to stay connected with them and the other VAs.

Cons

It's a 1099 position, taxes may be difficult at the end of the year if you aren't used to this kind of employment. (Personally, I love the flexibility of being a 1099/Independent Contractor, so I do not see this as a Con)

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.
