Do any of you work for Landmark Transcription out of PA? I'm looking for information regarding work flow, scheduling, etc. please. Thanks so much

You will get hired for lots of work - then in a week you have no work - they lose an account and you get terminated without more than 15 mins warning. That was my experience. Crazy picky QA lady, and I mean nit-picking. IMO.

In my experience, the work load at Landmark is either all or nothing. And ends up being little to absolutely nothing a whole lot more than there is any work to be done.

Like the other poster, I was hired, had lots of work for the first couple of weeks, and then it basically dropped down to maybe just a couple of reports a day, if that.

Landmark might be okay if you don't need anything steady or just want to make an extra couple of dollars here and there, but I definitely wouldn't rely on them for a regular paycheck.

I was hired and told I would be able to get 12,000 per pay period. However, many days I didn't even get one single report. When I would try to contact them about work load they were unavailable or flat-out ignored me. Not sure which one, but honestly, I'm pretty sure it was the latter of the two. It troubles me how some companies go to the trouble of hiring, signing the contract, etc. and then don't use me. I mean, they all expect to have all my info, like driver's license, SS#, many times direct deposit info. They have my name, address, phone number and email - and then they don't have any work! It's troubling to say the least.

The QA lady is running the show at Landmark. She can be testy at times and plays favorites. My account was an overflow account. I finally decided to move on. Good luck!

A different perspective - Landmark MT

I have worked for Landmark for about 3 years now, all on one account which is NOT an overflow account. I have not found the QA head to be overly picky, just some slight inconsistencies between the people who do it, but nothing really major. The only time I run out of work is around the holidays, but it's a clinic account and so that is to be expected

I've only ever worked on the one account, so can only speak to my own experience, but it has been a positive one with this company.

I do not run out of work and think it is the best company I have ever worked for. I really respect the QA person and think she is top-notch.

Happy Landmark Employee for 2 years - anon of course!

1) Reliability is a two-way street. I try very very hard to do what I say I will do when I say I will do it.

2) The QA person only plays "favorites" when UNreliable employees violate rule #1.

If you had to choose where to route the work, would you route it to the person who always does what she says she'll do, or to the person who doesn't even bother to call off and never answers emails?

That said, I have been satisfied that Landmark really truly tries to keep their end of the bargain, and I hope they realize that I have tried to keep my end. Communication is crucial! This industry is brutal, and not everything can be blamed upon the MTSO.

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 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 ...

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 ...
