Comment on if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people?

So right up front, you want to inform your supervisors that you won’t work with two of the long-established members of your new department because they don’t meet your personal interaction standards? And you think that’s going to go well for you?

If someone came to me with that demand before even starting the job, I’d breathe a sigh of relief that we discovered their weirdness before it was too late, and choose another candidate for the job.

Welcome to the working world! You don’t get to choose who you work with, you just have to make the best of it. If you need this job for advancement, then focus on that, and put up with whatever else goes with it, like EVERYBODY ELSE. Who told you that you could go through life without the minor inconvenience of having to deal with conflicting personalities? This is Real Life, you don’t get some protective bubble from the icky, inconvenient parts.
