Houston Public Library Foundation interview questions

I applied, went through the interview process as well as provided some concepts for upcoming event and was offered the job within three weeks. I declined. Positives: The interview process was pleasant. The staff there, particularly the executive director, were so sweet and you can tell they are passionate about the foundation and its work. Compared to other VERY small nonprofits, there are great benefits. The benefits are the highlight of the offer package. Healthcare and vacation offered are excellent. Red flags: I interviewed for a director position, received favorable references and positive feedback during the process and the offer included the title "Events and Marketing Manager" without any explanation. I've worked for small nonprofits before in a marketing and events position. It is a LOT of work. According to the duties, I was expected to lead all marketing and communications efforts, graphic design, come up with a multiyear strategic marketing plan, serve as the lead for events and of course the famous "other duties as assigned". With such a small team, this position screamed early burnout. Also considering the expectations and skills required, the salary offered was not competitive. I know it has to do with their limited budget, but you simply cannot offer two to three positions worth of work to one person, especially not at an non-competitive salary. I was willing to negotiate and issued a counter offer that was within the salary range I presented to them and much more along the scale I would expect for the work required. They couldn't match it and after a talk with the chairwoman, wouldnt event negotiate. I would have preferred they were transparent and honest about the salary during the second interview instead of giving me a lowball offer hoping I would take it. It spoke volumes about how they value employees (or don't) to me.
