Pros

This company genuinely cares for their employees, and does everything they can to make that clear to us. I love the freedom and flexibility that comes with working from home. My pod leader, assistant pod leader, and my pod mates are all wonderful. I truly feel accomplished and valued at the end of the day. Overall, the best job I have ever had.

Cons

The only downside I can think of, is not being trained in various programs that a client or clients utilize. The programs I am speaking of are: Trello, Evernote, Expensify, Dropbox, and others. I personally felt incompetent at first because of the lack of knowledge regarding these programs. There have been times that I a felt as though I was thrown to the wolves, so to speak.

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.
