Verdict
This posting shows strong legitimacy signals: Pattison Food Group is a verified, large Canadian employer with a reachable website, confirmed business match, matching location, and active careers section. The job description is detailed and specific, with comprehensive task lists, screening questions, and realistic pharmacy assistant qualifications. The email contact is at the employer's own domain (saveonfoods.com, a Pattison subsidiary). However, a minor concern is the generic-looking email address format (pharmacyemployment@) combined with no physical mailing address provided, which introduces slight uncertainty about direct employer contact, though this is common for large retailers accepting online applications.
