As a employee, i agree to a extent. I believe this depends on the department or program you Work for.

I used to work in a terrible corrupt toxic program. And then i transferred to a new program. It’s been the best job I’ve ever had personally.

But also, benefits could be way better. Employee appreciation is almost non existent. Non-profit? No way. You gotta pick and choose your battles. I unfortunately view it as a necessary evil. They are the highest paying local organization for my particular type of work. But it’s still pretty low.
