So far, so good. Would recommend
Jan 31, 2023 - Social Media ManagerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I have been with Time Etc for 6 months now and it has been great so far. I can get matched with clients based on my skills/experience, as opposed to freelance gigs where you have to constantly search for opportunities. Time etc brings them right to you and you can apply with a single click. I am a stay at home mom so this is a great way to have something else to keep my mind on sometimes and make some extra cash. Super flexible hours, great clients, and fair pay for the amount of work load. You can chat with support super easily when you need help and they are really good at getting back to you quickly. Everyone at the TIme etc office has always been super kind and helpful.
Cons
The only thing that might turn people away is you only get paid once a month, (for all of the previous month's work). But this is more of a side hustle job anyway. Not really a con, but what can also be frustrating is clicking an opportunity just to see it was already taken. You've got to be quick!

Hard to Get Clients, Low Pay for Work Done
Dec 21, 2022 - Virtual Assistant in RemoteRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
If you are a seasoned virtual assistant, they'll send you almost a hundred of clients a day. Every individual person I spoke with at corporate was fantastic. They were supportive and helpful.
Cons
The clients are "claimed" quickly, sometimes before you even have the ability to review the tasks. The pay that you get for the tasks is very low. For many of these clients, they are wanting accountants, communications managers, client relations managers and project management for cheap.
Hi there, Thanks for your feedback and review. Your feedback is noted! On the subject of fees, we've increased the fees we pay by between 55% and 65% in the last four years as well as introducing simple paths to follow to earn fee increases over time. We're always working to make sure the fees we pay are fair and will never rest on this. Whilst the vast majority of our clients are looking for administrative assistance there are a minority looking for more than this and we are looking into ways to ensure the fees charged and paid for these roles are more appropriate.

Pros
Very flexible work. Good if you are getting back into the workforce or want some extra experience.

Low pay so it’s not great forever. Good to do it on the side or as a start to your virtual assistant career.

Very nice company to work for starting out
May 7, 2022 - Virtual AssistantRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
There are an endless number of clients to choose from and it allows you gain experience. They are also there if you have questions and everyone is incredibly nice.
Cons
The pay is definitely lower than you could charge if you were to freelance on your own.

CEO
Thanks for your feedback - we really appreciate it. Just a quick note on fees - whilst it can look as if you're earning more freelancing directly, there are many hidden costs to consider, including these: Finding clients with advertising, networking and sales Platform fees (Odesk, Freelancer) (10% -20%) Payment processing fees Late payments, non-payments, refunds and cancellations
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
