Pros

- This company cares about their employees. They make every effort to let you know that your voice is being heard and that they care. While the pay could be better, I don't believe that necessarily reflects how much a company cares. Zirtual shows it in many other ways and I'm positive they will raise the pay when they are able (they are a pretty new startup with limited funding, so give them time!) - Great work environment - there is a very positive and forward-thinking attitude among the execs that trickles down and creates a fun, positive culture. - Good benefits (from only the single, no dependants perspective - no idea what it's like for families) - Forward thinking execs - this is HUGE to me. Many other reviews complain of frequent policy changes, but to know that the execs are constantly evaluating themselves and the company to improve and move forward is a sign of a healthy, successful company. That will be huge as Zirtual grows - you don't want a company that is so set in their ways that they are unwilling to adapt. - Openness of the execs - This is also a huge one for me. The fact that the execs take the time to listen to their employees and also be completely open about their vision for the company.

Cons

- not great pay for ZAs (at starting level), but there are lots of opportunities to grow within the company. - The hours are not as flexible as I'd like, but it makes sense for the job (being available to clients).

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.
