Pros

Working from home is #1. After that, it's great to have access to benefits, PTO, and decent pay rates. The company puts forth a great effort to create a feeling of unity and a great virtual working environment. Yes, there have been bumps in the road but the company is growing, it's to be expected.

Cons

Working virtually is a challenge in itself. You have to discipline yourself. You may work at home but it's still a real job with real hours and real clients. The work schedule is more rigid than it use to be which, unfortunately, limits the flexibility of the job.

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.
