Pros

I've just started with Zirtual and am still in training, but I have a feeling this is the perfect job for me. I have had great experience with management so far: I had a great nearly hour long interview with my recruiter and we got to talk about our lives and she really seem to care about me as a person, which I have found to be true of Zirtual in general. They respect me as a person and allow me to be a mom and a student and a person with other interests and hobbies and I'm so happy I found a job where I can incorporate all of that into my job. I love being able to work from home and not have to leave my kids in daycare all day long. I truly feel like I am getting more balance in my life. My trainer has been great and I love the rigorous training I have gotten so far. Everyone seems really dedicated. I've gotten quick responses from HR and IT departments. Great Benefits.

Cons

The company definitely has a start up feel at times, but it's a growing company, which can be exciting too because there is definitely potential for growth in this company it seems. Many have mentioned the low pay, but there are opportunities to earn bonuses and in the long run, I am saving on cost of daycare, loss of time commuting, and gaining in quality of life. It's all how you look at things!

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.
