Pros

Zirtual provides such a great community for its employees AND for its clients. The company is extremely transparent which cuts out confusion on both ends. I've never felt so looked out after by any other job. The fact that I have a ton more freedom now than I did working anywhere else is another one of the major selling points for Zirtual. Working from home is one thing, but this also affects things like moving, traveling, etc. I love that I don't need to sacrifice my livelihood in order to live my life. Zirtual believes in a Work - Life balance and a win - win - win for the company, clients, and employees and it really shows

Cons

The only thing that I'd ask for from Zirtual is more flexibility with my work week. It would be really nice if I (or anyone else) could have weekends on Monday and Tuesday. Since Zirtual is such a great option for stay at home moms and students, it would allow the ZAs to have more flexibility to do things like take classes, make appointments, etc. It would also open up availability for clients so they can still get support over the weekend if they need to. But that's just me wishing for a perfect world. I don't actually think the lack of this feature is a con about Zirtual. It would just be icing on the cake.

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.
