Pros

I have always wanted to work at home but since I have had a baby I've wanted nothing more than to be home with him and earn a steady income and that's exactly what I get! This job makes it possible to be home with my kiddo and be able to travel if I am doing so (with hotspot of course - need that internet connection!). Zirtual is always trying to be a more accommodating company to us employees, always listening to feedback and making the changes necessary to stay a "happy family" company with still being able to tend to our clients accordingly.

Cons

The pay is a little low but within time I'm sure that will change and being able to work from home and get benefits....well....I don't think I can complain that much! ;0) The working hours can be a little difficult sometimes 8:30 PT - 5:30 PT or 9:30 - 6:30 MT if you are me, flexibility is always nice if you need to do something or have an event outside of work that you would like to attend to that's during working hours. But as with everything, in time I'm sure it will change. Zirtual already has some great things in the make and has changed some things already!

Pros

For a VA starting out you are provided customers right away.

Cons

All customers are ready to work with VA, causing slow ramp-ups and some clients disappearing

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.
