'For' and 'because'

In the sentence "Do not command them, for you work together as one towards the same goals." Is the coma between 'them' and 'for' correct? I felt I could put 'because' instead of 'for' and believe in that case there would be a coma after 'them'?

Thank you for your help, Chris Williams

It's a good idea to use a co mm a in the sentence. (No one needs to be in coma here! ) The comma forces the reader to stop after the main clause, which helps him to collocate for you work together .
