Hardly a bigger red flag out there than "We're a family"

I wouldn't say a red flag at this point, every fucking company says it now, regardless of size. But it is something to take note of and watch closer. Just wait until you see what kind of family before really committing.
Is it a dysfunctional family that expects everyone to go above and beyond for nothing on return and punishes you for not? Or is it a family that pays attention to when things are happening outside work to help in any way because they actually get that happier employees work better?
I've worked for both personally.

I like my work family exactly how I like my own family.
They can all fuck off and leave me alone.

I've worked for a number of "family businesses" in my career and the pattern is always the same: a company founded by someone who is technically competent but a complete asshole, who then has kids who are complete assholes and also complete idiots and who then take over the business.

Nobody pisses you off more than family. Nobody tries to take advantage of you like family, because you’re family and obligated, 24/7. Yeah. Companies be like that.

Probably already knows you applied to 30 other families and just making sure you feel shitty about it instead of offering a reason to stay.
