A hiring manager that assumes businesses are, by default, good unless proven otherwise is a red flag for anyone looking to work at that business. Not only is it typically the opposite, but advertised jobs are disproportionately bad because people tend to hang onto the good ones. Workers are far more likely to cycle through a batch of bad jobs that, at best, nobody wants (and just as likely include unlawful worker exploitation) before finding a job that doesn't suck to the point of being abusive. I can't tell that a job is toxic until I've been there a bit, any more than a hiring manager can tell that an employee is toxic until they've been there a bit.
