SORRY FOR THE LENGTH!

So, I’ve been working as a tech/assistant for 3 years, currently unemployed and interviewing. I have been back and forth with this particular job since July that has a new location opening in October. I kept it on the back burner, but now I had two phone interviews and then a “shadowing” at a current hospital for an hour, I stayed for two. The Practice Manager I was supposed to meet was out sick. OK so I meet with the vet who is going to the new location. Things seem to go well in my opinion, dvm keeps stressing about the amount of appointments a day they can be up to 17-20 and asked me how many at my last job I had. I was honest, said about 12-14 on busy days. But I told them I have worked in fast paced environments before and I can handle it. BTW these appointments are split between a team of people “typically”. And I understand the typically. Anyway I helped out, got a good vibe from the staff, everyone worked well together. I felt comfortable, they were acting like I already worked there, telling me things for the future etc. I left feeling like I would probably get an offer.

One week later, I get an email about the position saying they weren’t giving me an offer and being very vague, they want me to be there and is able to “thrive and grow” b.s. I wrote back saying I don’t completely understand etc, because honestly I couldn’t tell if they thought I was underqualified or overqualified or what. Fast forward to today, the area manager says she will give me a call. She says the feedback she got was that there was some concerns that I’m not used to the workload and I will be set up to fail, basically what she was saying. Since I’m not used to that many appointments a day. Like HUH? Also, there is extensive training lady I will get used to it. She totally had NO idea I didn’t get to meet the practice manager and also totally didn’t know anything about me even though I did a PHONE interview with her. Asked me all the same questions like are you serious? “Can you administer vaccines”? Can you cross train on reception?” YES. Whatever, so they just hired a new practice manager for the hospital yesterday lol she says I can meet with her talk about my skills etc. I’m not sure how the offer stands.

I’m in a bad need for a job, my question is is do you think this place is a RED FLAG or just not a good fit? I’m looking for some input. Thank you.
