Milestones Victoria · Victoria, BC · $21.18 hourly
Verdict
Milestones Victoria is a legitimate, established restaurant chain with verified business details, matching address, and active careers page. The posting contains detailed, realistic job responsibilities and benefits typical of a restaurant cook role. However, the use of a generic Gmail address (jobs.milestonescookvbc@gmail.com) for applications is a notable concern, as a real restaurant chain would typically use a company-domain email. This inconsistency prevents a lower score despite otherwise strong legitimacy signals.

Contact email is jobs.milestonescookvbc@gmail.com (Gmail), not a company-domain email; inconsistent with a legitimate established restaurant chain that should use corporate email
