Pros

If you've dreamed of working from home as long as I have, this is heaven! Three-minute commute, working with nice people, mostly nice clients, good benefits, work-life balance .... the pay is low, but everything else is awesome!

Cons

Some of the clients tend to think that we're not real people and forget that we're not magicians and usually can't do things faster or better than they would do it themselves -- the point is that they don't have to do it themselves. Some of the clients are very personable, very nice. Others, well ..... aren't. You have to be able to keep your self esteem up and not let that get to you.

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.
