Jitasa Reviews

Pros

Culture Pay Training Not sure what else to say

Cons

I don't want to seem unrealistic, but I honestly can't think of any.

Pros

Jeff, the CEO and founder of Jitasa is the best CEO I have ever worked for. He is there for all employees. He has founded this business on an "employee first" basis where he says, If you reward your employees, then the business will run great. I am retiring and must say that this is the best company i have ever worked for. Jeff really cares for all of us. The lunch room has a big screen tv, ping pong table, and foosball. The vacation benefit are excellent. The pay is very good. I would highly suggest this company for your career.

Cons

Very busy. Sometimes it is hard to get help from a manager.

Pros

Worked with some great Non-profits and gained vast amounts of Accounting knowledge. Co-workers can be a great resource when you need help.

Cons

Can get overwhelmed with clients when turnover happens and can make it hard to get help when everyone is stretched thin.

Pros

Great coworkers and team leads

Cons

Sometimes not enough direction or support from upper management

Pros

My favorite part of Jitasa is working on a global team! It's really fun to work with people around the world on a daily basis. My global team is incredibly hard working and conscientious, which pushes me to be that way as well. You're always learning something new, and it's inspiring to work within the nonprofit community. Working for Jitasa has taught me to be a more thoughtful donor, and has significantly broadened my world view. Management is approachable, friendly, transparent, and actually cares about staff and clients. Even newer staff are empowered to suggest process changes that add efficiencies and better serve clients. Compared to firms of our size, Jitasa is technologically advanced. Great benefits, including time off to volunteer.

Cons

You watch a lot of passionate nonprofit leaders lose funding and go out of business. It can be really difficult emotionally to watch clients you've worked closely with have to step away from their missions just because of low bank balances! My "pro" of empowerment and expectation that staff will think for themselves is a "con" for some people. If you want to be micromanaged or have every decision made for you, you will struggle. It's also pretty fast-paced which can be overwhelming for some.

Pros

Jitasa is a B-Corp and is rooted in its core values: Discipline, Conscientious, Gracious. Everything we do ties back to those values. A lot of trust is given to employees to work directly with their own portfolio of nonprofit clients. You’ll work with and manage a global team which may be one of the most interesting and rewarding aspects. Jitasa has an exemplary office culture. It’s very much “work hard, play hard”. You can work a long day and end it with a beer from the keg in the break room. Or maybe take a break to play ping pong or shuffleboard. The people and laid back culture make each day a good one.

Cons

The work can be daunting and overwhelming. It can be a lot of hours and expectations. Advice: knowing how to prioritize is a must. Also, be able to distinguish being self sufficient vs. knowing when to ask for help. Help is there if you need it, but you must be assertive. Everyone has a lot going on and no one knows you need help unless you ask.

Pros

The best thing about working at Jitasa is doing meaningful work. Nearly everyday I have a client thank me for my services, this matters to me as I love feeling like my work makes a difference. After you have a couple of years under your belt, Jitasa offers a flexible work schedule, having the option to work remotely has saved me a lot of time in transit. The atmosphere is cheerful, it's easy to connect with others here.

Cons

It's important to learn quickly, the work is fast paced and you're expected to take on responsibilities early on. People who are fast learners, ask questions, and put in the time necessary to complete their work do well here.
