Assistant Manager

Sporting Life Group · Victoria, British Columbia · $50,000 - $60,000 annually

applies via jobs.dayforcehcm.com

Verdict

Sporting Life Group is a legitimate, established Canadian retailer with a reachable website and confirmed careers portal. However, the posting claims a Victoria, BC location when Sporting Life only operates one BC store in Burnaby—no Victoria location exists. This geographic mismatch is a moderate fraud signal, though the online application method and lack of a mailing address mitigate the risk somewhat. The salary, job title, and description are reasonable and plausible for a retail management role.
