I have a interview this week for a sales position at a expanding company. I have looked into the general manager at this location and I didn't find any leadership experience in his background. It seems like he will be one of those pushy sales managers who will unrealistic expectations. Its like they just kinda picked this guy out of nowhere. Is this a red flag?

Nope. There is no way you can know everything about this manager just based on what you've been able to find online. If you meet with him during the interview and come away feeling like your suspicions have only been reinforced, then sure, move on. But I wouldn't turn my nose up at the role (if it's offered) just because he doesn't have an extensive amount of sales experience listed on his LinkedIn.

What gives you that impression? Everyone starts somewhere. Fair to be concerned if they are a brand new manager, but I’d give it a chance and see. Unless there have been other red flags already. They could have other experiences that are transferable.
