Pattison Food Group Ltd. · Victoria, BC · $57.00 to $60.00 hourly (to be negotiated)

Verdict

This posting shows strong legitimacy signals: Pattison Food Group is a verified, large Canadian employer with a reachable website and active careers section; the business and location match the posting; and the job description is detailed with specific responsibilities, certifications, and screening questions typical of legitimate healthcare recruitment. The email domain (saveonfoods.com) belongs to Save-on-Foods, a Pattison subsidiary, confirming company-domain contact. Minor concern: the salary range ($57–$60/hr) is reasonable for a pharmacist in BC but marked "to be negotiated," which is standard practice and not a fraud signal.
