Pros

Great culture Offers many benefits Work from home/anywhere with wifi Learn several different industries and latest business tools Defined scope of work (you won't be doing anything anyone desires) No commute or gas!

Cons

Establishing and keeping clients can be difficult (but that's not Zirtual's fault) Pay PAy PAY -- It's far too low for college grads with families to live on (I can't afford to take advantage of the awesome benefits offered.)

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.
