Landmark Transcription - The owner overhires - anon

Posted: Nov 17, 2010

The owner overhires. She gets very excitated about hiring and runs the business like a hobby. She is a very nice lady but does not have a clue how to run a business. This way why the recent pschy position was ignored. Do not know if it was filled.

Do you work there? - Not defending them, but ...

If you don't work there, how do you know the job opening/advertisement was ignored?

If the typing/spelling in your post is any indication of your resume, there's a reason why you didn't get the job.

Just sayin'

Not defending them, either, but - Nick

I find it really ironic that the person who (1) hides behind "anon" and (2) apparently cannot be bothered to proofread at all, feels that it is okay to come on this board and bash a company--any company. He or she might start with improving his or her own spelling and proofreading skills before bashing someone else's company. His/her (lack of) rudimentary skills speaks for itself. Just sayin.

I agree and brushed off the report as soon as I read it - No credibility

Agree with you completely, Nick. Anyone with that apparent lack of expressive communication skills yet apparently purports to be an MT gets no points towards credibility in my "Things To Take Seriously" book, LOL!

I applied for the psych ad - RLee - not the pschy ad

LOL :)

Very excited about hiring? - sm

So it just tickles her pink to spend her time reviewing resumes, checking references and qualifications, doing orientation, filling out tax papers, adding a new person to payroll, etc? Did she personally tell you this? How odd.

worked for them and found them to be......... - crystal

very nice to work for. My account manager was great. They were totally flexible with my schedule; probably because the account I was on was low on work. I chose not to have a backup as I already had another account I worked on through another service. Good company, and would work for them again in a heartbeat :)

crystal's comment about low work at Landmark - been around MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Crystal admits to low work at this company. Sorry, but "nice" does not pay the bills. Over and over again, MTs have indicated that if you work for this company, you absolutely need to have a backup job with either another MTSO, an in-house job, or accounts of your own. The low work or no work situation is prevalent and ongoing with this company, not just a once in a while occurrence.

This is one of the reasons why they cannot keep MTs and constantly need to place ads. It is not because they are a growing company with a big list of accounts. The accounts come and go. The accounts are shared with other MTSOs. This has been going on since the start of the company. If you need to survive on your MT income, please be sure you don't work for this company exclusively. This is based on multiple MTs posting on various MT boards, as well as my personal experience.

I know, most of us have learned along the way to work for more than one employer. It's a safety net. I find it sad. How many other industries force this sort of uncertainty upon their workers?

Was hired by this company for a large hospital new account. Owner said she was excited about hiring 40 MTs. There has never been more than a few jobs per day.

I'm a newbie with Landmark. After reading the many posts on here regarding them not having much work, I realized I should have taken heed. Just the other day, I was logged in for almost 6 hours and only received 5 jobs! Anyone else have any similar experiences with them? Anything good or bad? I'd love to hear about some recent experiences. Thanks so much! ...

I think I may have made a HUGE error. After not reading and researching enough on site here I sent Landmark Transcription my resume. It wasn't until it was sent I discovered some of the messages from last year saying they are always out of work !! Just what I or any of us would need - sign on with a company who has no work. I left Soft Script because of that. Good grief, I wish I had seen all the feedback earlier. Live and learn I guess. ...

Anyone else get an e-mail this morning that as of April 1, they have lost a big acct. and we will have no work ? Was basically told we could be put on a waiting list for other upcoming accounts, other platform. Personally, I did not think this sounded very encouraging and with all the lack of work posts by others over the last few weeks, I guess I willl be looking at other options. Luckily, I have work with another company and will try to get some more from them. I really am tired of sta ...

Landmark has been great for the most part until this recent notification of changes in our pay periods back to bimonthly. Is anyone else just a little upset that we only get one week's pay for the first check of Dec. instead of usual 2? We still only get the same check end of month for 1-15th. Some of us have bills & will only get half the check. I was told that no one else was too bothered by this. Guess I'm the only one who actually works for my payc ...

Hello. I'm really needing a second job to make ends meet because of little work here lately and needing more money. Was thinking applying for Landmark part time if possible. Question: Is this as an independent contractor or actual employee? I would rather do individual contracting since I have my other job as an employee and would have a little bit more flexible hours. Also, if employee, do they provide you with computer, etc.? I looked at website but didn't find my answe ...

Hi, all- I am a transcriptionist (employee) at our local hospital and we were all recently told that Landmark was taking over our transcription department. We were given severance packages and were told that we would be offered positions with Landmark to continue doing the hospital transcription. None of us have heard from Landmark yet, and I was just wondering about anyone else's experiences with this sort of transition and just how smoothly it really went. I'm beginning to have my do ...

Any MT's out there who have recently been hired by Landmark TS in Pennsylvania to transcribe for its new account? If so, what have you experienced so far in terms of management, type of work, etc.? As a recent new hire, I've found there exists a handful of dictators who consistently turn out muffled, tinny audio and/or speech that is all but incomprehensible. Yet, when I have pointed this out to the supervisor, she insists that I am alone in this complaint as QA seems to have n ...
