There's lots of back and forth on this company in the archives. My experience with them has been overwhelmingly positive. As one poster said about her company, though, "other people's mileage may vary."
I can only speak to the specific account that I work on and we have plenty of work. The pay is always on time, QA is FABULOUS, very easy going, not nit picky and best of all, they leave us alone to do our work.
It can be hard to get *** to respond to questions, that is a drawback. Be very up front and ask them about the account that you are being hired for. There are several posters who have said a number of times that they believe Landmark only has overflow accounts (which is not true), but there are a number of people who have reported that they run out of work. I would ask them very clearly about the type of account and the work flow that is coming from it.
Again, I can only speak to the account that I work on, but this has been a great company for me to work for and I've been with them for almost 2 years.

Very easy company to work with. I am another who has always had work. No complaints.
BTDT, would NOT go back. Disorganized to the 9's! nm - Not so enthralled!

I am a recent hire with LM and so far I think it is great. The above positive statements about them are true. So far, I can't seem to find anything wrong, but I am always waiting for the bomb to drop, like running out of work, no work, no pay, etc., etc. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Some accounts are on Bayscribe. Some accounts are on Extext. There are probably other platforms, too. It depends on the account. It's a smaller, family owned company. Some accounts use VR and some are straight typing, again it varies by account.
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. It is definitely overflor and there is not a lot of that. Not enough work for even part time. Very vague about any further work. Am very disappointed. Owner does not have a grip on reality. ...
I was wondering if anyone knew what type of platform this company uses, and if they are currently using VR. Is there anything particular you MAY NOT like about this company or things you REALLY LIKE about them? I'd appreciate hearing about them. Thanks . ...
I find it interesting that this posted at all, as when I was there starting part-time to consider full-time, supposedly my acct was "terminated" without notice. Now they suddenly have work? I don't know....kind of puts the gut on alert IMO. Just my 2 cents. ...
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 ...
Does anyone have any solid information on what is going on with Landmark? I know they are doing layoffs, a friend of mine was laid off, but my account seems to be fully functional, no change in work status. Someone said they they are closing and I was wondering if I should bail out or stick around. ...
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. ...
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 ...
I have searched the archives, no real recent input on this company. would be interested in hearing recent experience with this company, concerning work flow and whatever else ...
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 ...
My primary seems to have dried up, I have OOW or dregs from secondaries. No response to emails. I have offered to change my shift, anything. I need the work. Any ideas/suggestions? The same? Different? ...
When there was all of a sudden no work any more? Or do they even care or notice whether you do or not. Someone else is obviously doing the work so I'm thinking it won't matter much to give notice or not. ...
Anyone ever involved with a case against LM from Division of Labor. I am seriously considering to do an investigation on them regarding the fair labor act. ...
Does anyone have any current info on Landmark Transcription? I was offered a job, but read that there are tons of work in the beginning and then nothing after a short period of time without any explanation as to why. I also heard that if you ask for more work, you get no response.
Just wanted to know if that was still the case. ...
