The Arise Virtual Solutions Scam Review – Is AVS Legit?

In this Arise Virtual Solutions scam review I will be showing you how this company has lost a bunch of its members due to the many issues that it has encountered and what you need to look out for when joining businesses like this.

I had to do a review on Arise because of all the complaints that I have been receiving about this company and how unhappy its members are. So without further ado, here is my complete review of Arise Virtual Solutions.

 

Arise Virtual Solutions Quick Review

---

Arise Virtual Solutions is…

• A job
• Pays hourly (between $9-$15/hr)
• Is not easy to start
• Very pricey
• Requires a very through back ground check
• Not recommended

Arise Virtual Solutions is a work from home virtual  business that is ran completely off the internet. It consists of a monthly fee, offers you bonuses ($25 per person), if you recruit people into their business and requires you to jump through hoops, just to get the business started.

I am not a big fan of jobs like this, but I do think it beats any 9-5 job out there. I know it sounds like I’m a bit confused, but if you read to the end of the review, I will show you what products I actually recommend and how it tops any lotions and potions business out there.

 

What is Arise Virtual Solutions?

---

Arise Virtual Solutions is another work from home opportunity for people looking to get out of the 9-5 bus, or just to make an extra income.

When I first came across Arise, the only thing I could think of was another MLM business called Wake Up Now. You might be a little more familiar with them because there is a lot of huff about them all over the social networks.

I’m not sure if it’s their little tornados on their logo, but these two businesses have almost nothing in common. I am not going to give you a comparison about the two, but a complete review of Arise Virtual Solutions and the business model that is offered. All I can say is that Arise has been around since 1994, so who copied who?

            VS          

 

Who Arise Virtual Solutions is for

---

Arise is for anyone looking for a work from home opportunity and is looking to add to or replace an existing income. If you want to be your own boss, then Arise will work perfectly for you.

Arise is for your traditional worker that is looking for a job, but wants to work from home. Just because it is done from home, this type of work form home business is not like affiliate marketing, but can compare to Multi-level marketing.

 

How To Become a Member

---

This process is not like any MLM company I’ve seen and it might not be very intriguing to you as well. You will go through their screening process and it can be a little irritating.

• First You must fill out the application online and be at least 18 years of age
• You will then take an online skills assessment, which, if you fail at any point, you will have to wait another 3 months to take the test again.
• Then you will need to get a criminal background check, which will run you between $11-$26
• Next you will take a basic certification program, which not only costs $99, but it takes way too long (about 20 hours)
• Then you will need to establish a virtual service corporation for your state which will cost more depending on your state and this will not be cheap either.
• Sign the contract with Arise
• Then you will need to set up your home office which will cost you more monthly fees for phone and internet service.
• Complete the training
• Begin work (if available)

Whew, that’s a lot of work! You can continue to do all that, or you can check out other work from home businesses, which costs a lot less, makes more money, and is not complicated.

Like I said, this is like a regular job, but it is ran out of your own home. Some people are actually happy doing things like this, but this job will take you forever before you can replace an actual income.

 

Here are the requirements before becoming an Arise Virtual Solutions member.

 

The Arise Business Model

---

With the Arise business side of things, you get to choose which clients you want to service. Remember that this is completely ran off the internet, and although you will be taking calls, the business is ran online.

You will need to get certified in every business you decide to get into, and most of the time it takes weeks just to take a course. To me this is a big problem with the Arise business.

When calls come in, they are routed to you (at home) and that is where you will provide the information. If you don’t know the answers to certain things, the call will be routed to a PF (Performance Facilitator) who are actually contracted with Arise.

 

The Cost

---

Arise Virtual Solutions is not going to be no $100 set it and forget it kind of deal. Along with your monthly bills for the use of a phone service and an internet provider, you will have all the fees that I mentioned above.

 

The Pros & Cons

---

Pros:

• Allows you to work from home
• Flexible schedule
• Has been around for a while (since 1994)

 

Cons:

• Very pricey
• Too many complaints
• Poor support
• Doesn’t pay well
• Process takes too long
• Payment issues

 

Arise Virtual Solutions Complaints

---

There are complaints about Arise, which I really wouldn’t expect from a company that costs so much just to start. Here are some of the complaints some of the members had about Arise Virtual Solutions.

• Termination for no reason
• Members claiming to file lawsuits (big red flag)
• No support
• Payment issues
• Don’t respond to emails
• Unprofessional

When joining any type of work from home business, these are definitely things you don’t want to encounter. You will spend valuable time trying to resolve issues, rather than making money, which is the whole reason you decided to work with Arise in the first place.

 

Is Arise a Scam?

---

I wouldn’t completely write Arise off and call them a complete scam, but I would definitely not recommend this company to ANYONE trying to make a living from home.

With all the problems that come with Arise, it will not be worth the time and is definitely not worth the money either. It is way overpriced and it is not so easy to get started.

There are too many complaints and the training takes way too long for a job that only pays $9 an hour and can’t even pay you on time, but in the end, it is totally up to you.

If you want to start a real work from home business, take a look at the Wealthy Affiliate and see why it still holds the #1 spot on A Work From Home Business.

I hope you found this Arise Virtual Solutions scam review to be helpful to you and your search for a real work from home business. Please leave a comment and let me know if you found this article to be helpful (or not) and let me know if you have any questions as well. Cheers!
