Pros

My coworkers were awesome, and I developed some really great relationships with fellow assistants and my clients.

Cons

If you haven't read or heard about the disaster that was August 10, here's the short version. Over 400 people were summarily fired with zero warning via vague email. We were locked out of our company accounts, lost health benefits, and were generally adrift with no new information for almost two days. When news of acquisition by Startups.co came almost two days later, we still are left without jobs. Zirtual may have been "saved" but that means nothing to employees left to fend for themselves. Stay far away.

Pros

I was connected with many other like minded people, connected with my amazing LOYAL clients.

Cons

Unfortunately, EVERYTHING! To be clear I do not want to come off bitter here. I will provide facts. This past Monday on 08/10/15, myself and THE ENTIRE Zirtual staff over 400+ employees, woke up thinking we had a job only to find a vague email from the CEO that we ALL had lost our job effective immediately due to financial reasons. Company had ceased all operations effective immediately. Just like that, 400+ loyal employees were let go. I've never panicked so much. One day later, after being told to seek out our clients privately and independently from said CEO, Zirtual has RISEN from the ashes and, in addition, reached out to the same clients to let them know Zirtual was back and to "comeback". Twice betrayed. Horrible.

Pros

Working from home No commute Nice co-workers Safety net Performance bonuses

Cons

Training is insulting and belittling. They pay you for two weeks of reading and copy/pasting forms. The pay is beneath all of us. Instead of the company focusing on treating their employees right, they focus on sending up Chromebooks that won't even run normal programs. They expect you to have a smart phone to help clients but don't pay/reimburse you for them. They pick and choose who they want to apply the rules to. They tell you it's 90 days from start to when you can apply for other roles in the company. That's a lie. They will promote people without any amount of transparency. The company has so many stupid ideas to implement but aren't listening to what the employees want, which is to be paid a reasonable wage for what we're worth.
