What are the red flags in a community manager job offer that I should look out for? Aside from obvious examples like below average salary and no benefits.

If the job description is vague or unclear about what the role entails, it could indicate that the company doesn't have a clear understanding of what a community manager does or doesn't value the role enough to provide a clear description or if the job description makes unrealistic demands such as requiring you to work long hours, work weekends or expecting you to do the job of multiple people, this could be a sign of a company that doesn't respect work-life balance or values productivity over employee wellbeing.

I agree with this and usually in this position you will find yourself way more has than just a community manager. This happened to me before. I was working with a small firm and ended basically being the digital marketing manager but I was only get paid to manage the community

I would also add a lack of support from upper management.

This is in general but still applies to CM. The first red flag to look out for is any job offer that is unclear or doesn't provide a detailed job description. If the job requirements are vague or the expectations aren't outlined, it may be best to pass on the offer.

I would say you should watch out for any job offers that require you to have unrealistic experience, certifications, or qualifications. Also, pay attention to any offers that don't offer any sort of job security or advancement. If the job offer doesn't commit to your future with the company, it's probably not the best fit.

When they describe what the job entails on the post then when you get hired on they try to add more responsibilities. I think that this is a red flag that they will try to overwork and underpay

You should do your research on the turnover rate. If it's too high especially for your position, you should ask about that in the interview

Once you get an interview, you should get a feel for how the company is based on the recruiters. Just got with your gut. If it feels right then you will know

How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
