Great post!

I’ve never worked for a non-profit myself, but I have quite a few friends who have, and the feedback that I’ve gotten from them is very similar: that employees weren’t taken care of as well as they would be at a for-profit business, they were expected to work overtime and the organization’s hierarchy and beurocracy was often really hard to work with. It seemed they dealt with these problems because the organizations they worked for weren’t as focused on increasing profits (which you can only do with happy employees), and because they were government funded, they didn’t have to worry about going out of business.

It’s great to see the mission and integrity of non-profits being combined with the organization and sensibility of a for-profit business. I think this will accomplish a lot of good in the world!
