Pros

The flexibility is outstanding. Working from home affords a way of living I can't imagine ever doing without again. As a ZA I've been able to live in and explore more than a handful of different cities — enriching not only my career but my personal life. I also learn things everyday by the relationship I have with my clients. It's rare to have exposure to so many talented and inspiring people all at once. This is the everyday experience of a Zirtual Assistant and I feel very lucky to have it!

Cons

The pay could be much better. Only some of that is made up by the ability to work from home.

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.
