Pros

Legit work from home work. Decent pay. Good support from headquarters.

Cons

Taking any sort of time off is a total pain and often not worth it. You are required to make your hours up. Not bad if you have a small client with 30-45 hours per month, but trying to make up a week of hours for a full time client/clients is AWFUL! I've worked during family vacations and holidays just so I don't have to come back and work 40+ hour weeks to make it up. Clients are led to believe we as VA's are making $40/hour, Belay takes approximately a 50% cut from clients before VA is paid. CSC's are not consistent with what the role of VA is from one client to another.

Good afternoon, thank you for writing us an honest review! It's wonderful to hear that you feel supported and enjoy the work-from-home aspect of the role. In regard to your question about carrying hours over, that is best suited to your CSC. They would better be able to directly address your concerns. We absolutely want our contractors to feel trust and we would like the chance to answer your questions if you can submit a support ticket.

Pros

Remote Home Office Opportunity to support clients Friendly coworkers who genuinely want to help one another

Cons

Leadership lacked clear communication and consistent direction. Training and onboarding were disorganized, making it difficult to understand expectations. Frequent changes in priorities and processes created unnecessary confusion. Employees were often evaluated on expectations that had not been clearly communicated. Departments did not always appear to be aligned, resulting in inconsistent guidance and decision-making. Attempting to get help was often frustrating, as employees frequently seemed just as confused. Emails and support tickets sometimes took a week or longer to receive a response.

Thank you for taking the time to share a reflection on your experience as a Client Success Consultant. We’re grateful for the years you invested in serving clients and supporting your teammates, and we appreciate the care you clearly still have for the people and the work. We take your feedback seriously, particularly around managerial support, support tickets and onboarding. The CSC role sits at the center of the client and contractor experience, and we recognize that carrying a large portfolio and navigating complex situations can be taxing without the right level of support and resourcing. Your comments reinforce the importance of ensuring our teams feel equipped, heard, and supported in the work they do every day. Your observations about leadership priorities and goals are important as well. As we continue to evolve as an organization, we are actively evaluating how we create clearer pathways for advancement, strengthen leadership stability, and ensure compensation and career progression remain competitive and sustainable. Thank you again for sharing your perspective with such honesty and professionalism. We’re grateful for the contributions you made during your time with BELAY and wish you continued success in your career and the next season ahead. Warmly, The BELAY Team
