Pros

I have the benefit of a 9-5, M-F job (that encourages employees to set hard limits with these hours) while still getting to work from home. Our team and our managment are incredibly encouraging and always there to provide advice, help, or just chat about a fun topic of the day on Slack. Working here, you get to work with all types of companies and all types of clients, so you get to learn new things and really add onto your skillset.

Cons

Salary could be better for the amount of work done for and expected from clients.

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.
