My experience working with Rocket Station raised a lot of red flags. In my time there and from conversations with other VAs, it felt like the company was more focused on cutting costs than supporting its team.
A few major issues I saw:
• Significant pay gap: Many VAs reported earning under $5/hr, while clients were being charged significantly more — often around $12/hr or higher. This disconnect felt unfair and demoralizing.
• Higher admin fees: There were multiple mentions among staff that Rocket Station increased administrative fees by around 9%, which only widened the gap between what clients pay and what VAs receive.
• Mass layoffs & automation: A large number of people were laid off, and it seemed roles were being shifted to AI or automation tools to save money — with very little explanation or support for affected workers.
• Leadership concerns: Many felt that executives and managers weren’t accountable or engaged with the realities of VA work, leading to frustration and morale issues.
• Heavy monitoring: We were required to install monitoring apps on personal devices, which raised privacy concerns and felt intrusive given the low pay.
This review reflects my experience and what many former and current VAs shared in internal chats and community threads. If you’re considering working here, do thorough research and ask about compensation, fee structures, and how decisions are communicated.
Chris has been outstanding! We have been so blessed to have him a part of our company for so man years! Highly recommend Rocket Station!

Great customer service. Always available and responsive. Once we trained our VA on what we wanted done, she had no problems getting everything done on her own within the specified time frame. It's a been a huge timesaver for us.

Rose is our asset to our company!
Wow—what can I say? Stepping into a new role at Blackbridge Property Management has been an incredible experience, especially because I had the pleasure of meeting a truly one-of-a-kind employee: Rose.
From day one, Rose has gone above and beyond. Not only is she outstanding in her work ethic, but she also brings a deeply human and compassionate approach to everything she does. We are incredibly fortunate to work alongside a company like Blackbridge and to support one of our strongest employees.
During my first introduction, I asked some tough questions—particularly around how the company supports the employees they've hired for us. To my surprise and appreciation, we were perfectly aligned in our mission. As a leader committed to transforming this industry, it’s refreshing to know that there are professionals like Rosewho share that same passion.
Regardless of where her career takes her, Rose is the kind of employee who will always have a door open with us. We’re proud of this partnership, because Blackbridge isn't just filling roles—they’re helping change the industry by being more accommodating, human-centered, and forward-thinking.
Thank you for leading with integrity and heart.

I can’t say enough good things about Jem. Hiring a virtual assistant felt like a big step for me, and Jem has completely exceeded every expectation. From day one, she was proactive, organized, and incredibly reliable. It’s rare to find someone who doesn’t just “complete tasks,” but actually thinks ahead, catches details I missed, and makes my life easier in ways I didn’t even know I needed.
Jem communicates clearly, follows through fast, and handles everything with a calm, can-do attitude. Whether it’s managing admin, keeping projects moving, or stepping into something new she hasn’t done before, she figures it out quickly and delivers it better than I imagined. She’s the kind of person you trust with the important stuff because you know it’ll be handled the right way without hand-holding.
Because of Jem, my business is running smoother, my brain feels less cluttered, and I’m able to stay focused on the work only I can do. She’s not just support, she’s a true asset to my team.

Absolutely love working with every single one of the ladies on this team.
Incredibly fast learners and such hard workers. They will not stop until it’s done and right! Moira is my dedicated virtual assistant and I simply could not do what I do without her fast and efficient help! She has an extremely great eagle eye and she is my “safety blanket” on my finals checklists with very high profile guests! I cannot sing their praises more- very happy and overly satisfied with their service.
