Work from home, woman owned and run, good alternative for stay at home mothers, disabled, and students, work with interesting clients
Cons
Lack of respect, contractors treated more like employees than independent contractors, have to work the hours set by the company, mandatory unpaid training, contradictory rules and procedures, "internship" contract clause requires you to work minimum 15 months or incur $300 dock in pay
Advice to Management
Need to respect the idea of independent contractor, clearly identify job requirements and expectations from the start, be consistent in rewards and penalties
Many people only write reviews about a company that are negative. CVA might have been a mess to work for a couple years ago but now they are great. They cleaned house and got all new upper management they are fantastic. I have see some mixed reviews on here, the interview process was easy for me. I got assigned to an team and begun work the next day on recurring tasks. I love being able to work from home. My hours... are flexible and I am always done by 5pm.

Negative Outlook
I worked at Contemporary VA full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
I worked at this company for almost 4 years and while the positives include the amount of skills and training I received, it does not make up for the cons associated with this position.
Cons
Even though you are hired as a 1099, you have set work hours, very little flexibility and a GM who tries to micromanage everything being done...including wanting access to your calendar with full details so she can track your day. Overloading VA's with too much work and then being upset when they aren't perfect.
