Pros

I have the security of being an employee and several benefits that fall under that classification. I have an amazing support system and community that I cherish. Going to work is fun and exciting. I don't have to fight for jobs or clients and I truly feel close to everyone I work with. There is a sense of "we're all in this together, so help each other". I feel secure here. I feel cared about. I'm part of the team and it is my privilege to be here as it grows.

Cons

Working in a growing company means handling a lot of changes in policy and it can be confusing or difficult to incorporate at first. However it isn't exactly traumatizing and feedback is heard.

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.
