VaVa Virtual Assistants

I joined this company back in January or February when there was a blast on Facebook that they were looking for new VAs. I did the process and it did have several hiccups along the way but that was resolved quickly when I reached out to the CEO for help(Both owners are quite incredible and helpful during that time). I landed my first client sometime in March or April. Worked on a project with 1 client. The client I did have ended their contract. When I joined the company, several others did as well. 

Fast forward to now, clients are very hard to come by. A large portion of the people I joined with actually are no longer with the company. That is a rather huge turnover and very alarming because that shows that people come and go into this company. 

Despite the obvious company growth(they keep hiring VAs, Digital Marketers, and Graphic Designers) but they don't have enough clients to go around. When asked, they give the same answer every time "we like to screen our clients and make sure they are matched to the right VA as it is important..." I can agree and understand that but when a brand new client is being paired to someone who just joined the company, it raises a few eyebrows. Especially to those who work hard and probably meet the criteria. 

The other drawback is how involved you have to stay on the social channel they use for communication. It doesn't make sense that in order for me to get more clients, I have to make my presence known to them every day by interacting. There was an entire month I volunteered my services to no avail. I stopped when I had an incident where I was told, I can't invoice for helping someone on the channel, when it was one of the things they told us during training...volunteer on the channel while you wait so you can still make money. Yet, they want us to be  actively involved so they don't forget us when clients come in...I am a freelancer, I don't have the time to commit and jump on a social channel when I need to either be looking for a job or other clients.  

Working for this company is a great stepping stone, but if you really want to build your career, look elsewhere. It looks like they just hire people to make up for those that will inevitably leave the business.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working as a Virtual Executive Assistant with VaVa Virtual has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From day one, I felt supported, valued, and set up for success. The onboarding process was smooth and well-organized, making it easy to understand expectations and feel confident stepping into my role.

One of the standout aspects of working with VaVa Virtual is the strong sense of community. Even in a remote environment, there’s a genuine effort to stay connected, collaborate, and support one another. The leadership team is approachable, communicative, and truly invested in both client success and employee growth.

The work itself is engaging and varied, offering opportunities to build skills across different industries and executive styles. I appreciate the level of trust placed in assistants to manage responsibilities independently while knowing support is always available when needed.

VaVa Virtual also does a great job matching assistants with clients, which makes a big difference in creating productive and positive working relationships. The flexibility of remote work combined with clear structure and expectations allows for a healthy work-life balance.

Overall, VaVa Virtual is a fantastic company for anyone looking to grow as a Virtual Executive Assistant while being part of a professional, supportive, and empowering team.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working with VaVa Virtual is managing the varying expectations and working styles of different clients. Because each executive has their own preferences, communication style, and pace, there can be a learning curve when starting a new match or supporting multiple clients at once.

At times, priorities can shift quickly, requiring you to stay highly organized, adaptable, and proactive. This can feel fast-paced, especially when juggling competing deadlines or urgent requests.

However, this challenge also helps build strong problem-solving skills, flexibility, and resilience. With time, clear communication, and support from the VaVa Virtual team, it becomes much easier to anticipate needs and manage workloads effectively.

I’ve been with VaVa Virtual Assistants for almost five years, and I truly don’t see myself ever wanting to leave. From the beginning, what stood out to me was the team culture and the hands-on involvement of the executive team. It doesn’t feel like a cold corporate environment filled with office politics. Instead, it feels like a team of people who genuinely care about one another’s success.

VaVa creates ongoing opportunities for growth, both professionally and personally, and that investment really makes a difference. The communication is strong, support is always available, and the team is there to help when challenges arise. That kind of collaboration is invaluable when you’re working remotely and supporting clients at a high level.

Compensation is fair, and I appreciate that there are opportunities to grow, improve your skills, and increase your pay over time. VaVa also does a great job of staying current with technology and best practices, which keeps the company and its assistants competitive and well-equipped.

I highly recommend VaVa to virtual assistants who want flexibility, support, growth, and a healthy balance between serving their own clients and taking on subcontracting work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at VaVa is the people and the integrity of how the work is done. There’s a strong emphasis on thoughtful client matching, clear communication, and mutual respect, which makes it easier to do high-quality work and build lasting relationships. The leadership team is supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in both client success and the growth of their VAs.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The pace can be fast at times, but the support and communication from the VaVa team help mitigate stress.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment at VaVa is professional, supportive, and relationship-driven. There’s a strong culture of trust, accountability, and clear communication, with leadership that is approachable and responsive. Even in a remote setting, the team feels connected and aligned around delivering quality work for clients while supporting one another’s growth.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day involves balancing client priorities, managing tasks and deadlines, and staying in close communication with both clients and the VaVa team. It’s a mix of focused, independent work and collaborative problem-solving, with an emphasis on organization, follow-through, and delivering consistent, high-quality support.

When I started working with VaVa Virtual Assistants, it was right when the pandemic last year started getting really bad and everything was shut down. Because of this, it took some time before I was assigned a client. However, once things started picking back up, I continued to have more client opportunities, and now I have all the clients I want/need. 
The company culture is simply amazing! They have a great leadership team, and despite the fact that this is remote work, I really feel connected with both the leadership and the other people who work there. I have worked at two other remote companies, and at those places, I only knew the names of my managers. Here, I know the names of my coworkers and even feel a sense of comradery with them. 
As far as the clients go, VaVa tries their best to match VAs with clients that would work well together. I have had a couple clients who left for various reasons (temporary needs, change of job, etc.), but most of my clients have been with me this whole time and we have formed a great relationship. 
The work time is flexible and you can set your own schedule. However, you do need to be available for so many business hours during the week so clients who are working can reach you if they need to.
For those considering applying to VaVa, I would say that what your experience is like depends on you. If you are a great communicator, good at problem solving, and keep your word and commitment, you will love working here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I’ve been a digital marketer at VaVa for over five years, and it’s truly been a great experience. I love the freedom and flexibility of working remotely, along with the strong support from fellow digital marketers and VAs. The environment is cohesive, collaborative, and genuinely caring, you really feel valued here. It’s a place where you’re trusted to do your best work and supported every step of the way.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Coming from a corporate job for over 20 years, this Digital Marketing position at VaVa has almost no stress.  For the most part, I make my own hours and can choose how many clients I have time to support.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's a remote position but the environment is fun.  We all communicate daily on Slack.  Sometimes it's fun things to participate in, other times it's looking for resources from my co-workers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on my client load, it varies.  But mostly it's checking in with the account manager once every week or two.  I'm not micromanaged and I can work within a schedule that fits my day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I really like working with VaVa Virtual Assistants. They’re organized, supportive, and work with a wide range of clients, which keeps things interesting. The core team is always there for us as VAs, and it genuinely feels like they have our backs.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Opportunities and workload can fluctuate based on client needs.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I appreciate the sense of community VaVa creates even though we’re all spread out across the country. There’s always a place to ask questions, get support, or connect when you need it. They also do a great job building community in ways that feel fun and optional, like engagement games, holiday get-togethers, and gift exchanges.

The culture at VaVa is really great, however, they don't have many clients (I waited well over three months for my first assignment). Also, once a client does become available you basically put your name in a bucket with any number of other VAs looking for work and it is up to the account manager to decide who gets the gig. 

They don't take into account your full range of skills/abilities. For example, if you are a VA you aren't eligible for any social media management gigs and vice versa without re-applying and becoming approved to take on different types of clients. This would make sense if they didn't already interview you, review your resume and have a full list of your specialities right from the beginning. It's just a frustrating process overall. 

If you are looking for a side gig and have the time to wait for something to come along then great. Otherwise, I would pass. 

I started with VaVa in January after a thorough interview process. I had my first 3 clients within 3 weeks. The process used to pair Virtual Assistants with clients is second to none. We are not "told" what clients to work for -- we are given the choice to work with a client or not. I love the fact that I am not the sales person, account manager AND assistant all wrapped into one. I can just focus on doing really great work for the clients I serve and let VaVa find the clients and handle the rest for me. The team culture helps me not feel so isolated working from home by myself. I've been a VA for 2 decades and it's nice to feel like I am part of a bigger team, yet still working independently. It's the perfect balance. 

VaVa is a great place to find flexible, meaningful work from home.  Your position at VaVa is what you make of it, but the team is supportive and inquisitive of and about your career goals, your areas of interest and areas of strength, so as to set you up for success.  There are many opportunities to increase and improve your skill set.  I love working with this group of encouraging female leaders, as well as our community of amazing assistant who are willing to lend a hand in innumerable areas.
