Passing on a significant raise

I was recently offered a job that would be a significant raise, ~$20k. I was offered the job without having a second interview and they did not contact any of my references. I’m not overly qualified for the position and the general vibe of the interview was interesting to say the least. The interviewers seemed overworked and fairly miserable. That atmosphere along with what seems to me like slight desperation to get the role filled are red flags in my opinion. They also wouldn’t budge on their PTO policy, which would require me to not have a paid day off until I’ve completed a YEAR of employment. The raise alone is enough to consider jumping ship at my current job, but I guess I’m wondering if any of you think I’m making a mistake.
