Assistant General Manager

Mountain Equipment Company · Victoria, British Columbia · $65,000 - $81,100 annually

applies via workforcenow.adp.com

Verdict

Mountain Equipment Company (MEC) is a legitimate, well-established Canadian retailer with a verified website, confirmed store location in Victoria, and a real ADP recruitment portal for applications. The salary range is realistic for an assistant general manager role, and the posting includes proper online application instructions. The primary concern is a minor geographic mismatch: the posting claims Victoria as the work location, but MEC's corporate headquarters is in Vancouver, creating ambiguity about whether this is a store-level or head-office role. This is a weak fraud signal in an otherwise credible posting.
