Pros

Flexibility. My husband's job has us moving quite a bit and this provides me the flexibility to go with him no matter what and already have a job in place. And I'm looking forward to being more available for our kids.

Cons

The only real "con" I have is I wish we had a shift that ran 7-4 as an option instead of just 830-530 on the East Coast. I was a school teacher and I'm used to being up early anyway and enjoyed being able to free to go to evening practices and concerts that often start at 530 or 6. But that's hardly a con in my opinion, me just wanting to have an earlier schedule.

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.
