Verdict
Mountain Equipment Company (MEC) is a legitimate, well-established Canadian outdoor retailer with a verified website, confirmed store location in Victoria, and a real jobs listing page. The posting uses a professional ADP recruitment portal for applications and includes a realistic salary range for a seasonal retail role. The only minor concern is a location mismatch between the job posting (Victoria) and the company's headquarters (Vancouver), though this is explained by MEC's actual store presence in Victoria and is not indicative of fraud.
