Pros

The pros are some of the people you get to meet during training, the trainer-Steve, and the opportunity to work from home.

Cons

The training is fast and furious and for the people that don't catch on to all the different templates and checklists and emails and google chrome and google hangout and the list goes on in the four days of training, they let you go. There is alot to learn and people learn differently. There were some areas I did well with and others I didn't, but with time knew I would be just fine, but wasn't given that time. I had planned to quit anyway because I feel the training is insufficient, and they change things it seems daily. Templates, checklists, etc. I have worked in administrative jobs for over 24 years and have had my employers give me nothing but high recommendations.

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.
