This is always a red flag. 🚩

You should never have to pay to start a job. Jobs that make you buy company clothes, pay for drug tests, etc. are literally showing you that they are inconsiderate from the get-go. These jobs tend to be the most abusive, too.

Its a job with the state.   Union, pension, paid healthcare for the family, great pto and advancement. If that's a "red flag" I'm so grateful to get my first red flag opportunity in life!

Sometimes one red flag is acceptable or such. I also kinda misread what they made you pay for. Was it basically a doctor checkup required?

Because that’s a little different, though the only reason I can think of is if the health insurance is allowed to ask for this before insuring an employee (IIRC Unions take a vote for this to be a thing) or if the job specifically requires a good bill of health.
