Anyone heard of a situation where an offer letter is sent late on a Friday an deadline to accept is EOD the following Monday? My wife got an offer for a marketing role at a local news station and they only provided an offer letter with minimal information. It literally says “generous vacation, sick time policy and other benefits”. In what world is it okay to expect a candidate to accept your offer without providing documentation on all of your policies and benefits?

Both of those are huge red flags and an automatic no

Imo yes, agreed. But she is excited and I want to make sure it’s not something that turns south quickly for her.

She can ask for an extension and while doing so she should ask for the best point of contact to address unanswered questions about PTO and benefits…and she can let them know that’s necessary to making an informed decision.

I would think that that would be a reasonable ask. You should be able to ask questions about the offer itself and have enough time to do so but it looks like the company is rushing it. I agree, red flag

Since the due date is EOD on Monday, you have a whole working day to communicate with them. I would write something like this.

Start with some generic thank you for the opportunity and all.
I am excited to take this opportunity and would like to know the specifics of the offer. I think, 25 days of PTO, 14 days of sick leave, full paid insurance, 7% 401k match, and blah blah ... sounds fair to me.

I am assuming this is what generous means. If my assumptions are valid, I accept the offer, or please provide specifics. Really excited to be xyz company. Thank you again.

would suggest asking them to provide the supporting document like employee guide, benefits guide, list of holidays, PTO guide, insurance guide etc, which goes into all of these details / and get that from them before signing the offer letter. Do write them a email or call them and ask for call with the HR person or hiring manager and ask these questions. In all my jobs including full time, part time, contract, temp jobs, this has been clearly spelled out in great details in the offer letter or in some other document supporting offer letter - and this supporting document was provided before I signed. If they do not give it or say they will give later after offer letter is signed, that is a big red flag.

If this is her “dream job” then just go for it, unless she is a Chief Mktg / Advert Officer than it likely will make little difference.

Respond end of day Monday if there’s counter offer discussions on salary. Have follow up verbal conversation late in day- not early.
