Pros

Working from home. Good benefits. Paid Holidays. No weekends. Set hours, I always know when I'll be working. Paid vacation. My cat gets to come to work with me everyday! We move around a lot for my husband's job, so it's allowed me a chance to focus on my career while still supporting his. There is a lot of room for growth and promotion within the company. They really seem to value their employees. The support system is great! If there is something you need you can just reach out and know you will be heard.

Cons

The starting pay is a little low, but they are very upfront about it from the start so I'm not sure I would consider that a real con. Plus there is chances for bonuses every quarter which adds, and I don't have to commute!

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.
