Landmark escription account? - dogmom

Posted: Mar 12, 2013

Anyone out there work on a Landmark escription account? Can you tell me what your experience is like...enough work, CPL? I was thinking of applying, but want to know if it's worth my time. TIA.

The account I had was almost 100% ESL - sm

And no, there was not enough work. I have heard some say that they have had plenty of work, but that was not the case for me.

My experience was that one day there would be no work. Then, maybe the next day there would be an abundance of work and I may be tied to the computer 15 hours, trying to make up for the day before of having no work. I got to the point where I was afraid to leave the computer, because I was afraid work would come through and I wouldn't get it and I never knew when work would come through again. It makes it even harder too, because I would see job ads saying they are hiring all of the time and I would ask to please be placed on a different account and most of the time my emails got unanswered. When she did answer, she would say she already staffed that account.

Thank you - dogmom

That's what I was afraid of. I had read a couple similar stories on here. Thanks for helping me make up my mind.

This post is absolutely correct and has been said here many times - nm

I have the same story as another one of the posters. The account I was on was 100% ESL. I was not told that at the time of hiring and I could not make enough money. I could do the ESL, but it slowed me down too much. It's also not pleasant doing that 100% of the time.

I wonder if all their accts at that bad or just the one you (and I) were on. - me inmn

Mine turned out to be nearly 100% ESL and the good ESL docs reports would somehow "vanish" when I looked at the work pool!

You can only type or edit so many terrible ESL reports before you feel like crying, which I did a few times. Combine that with the incredible rate of speed you need to edit at 3CPL to bust through minimum wage, and it's a disaster. I quit awhile ago and don't regret it. They were nice to me, but the work and pay was terrible.

My experience - Landmark MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I have worked at Landmark for about 8 or 9 months now, but not on an eScription account. I'm on an ExText account. For the most part, I have more than enough work, but there are some days when we are told to stay logged off until a certain time when volume is low. That was happening quite a bit a few weeks ago, but now we're drowning in work on my account. That's just how it is. Feast or famine. Landmark is only a second/part-time job for me. I don't think I could depend on it for full-time because of the unpredictable volumes. They also don't have any benefits. I don't even think they offer PTO at all. Overall, I really don't have any complaints about them, but like I said, it's only a side job for me. They leave you alone to do your work and you very rarely ever hear from anyone.

Full-time Landmark employees get 5 days PTO per year. That's it! No other benefits! I was offered employment with them but declined. Might as well be an IC.

Wow... - Landmark MT

Only 5 days a year??? Wow! My full-time company gives us 6 WEEKS of PTO a year for the first 2 years of service and it goes up from there. I guess it's a good thing that LM is just a side job for me. I'd go crazy only getting 5 vacation days in an entire year!

where is that? - cant believe it

I cannot believe that you get 6 weeks of PTO in thefirst 2 years! Please, fill me in. Privately if needed. My husband has 4 weeks after 20 years of service! Unbelievable.

So it is claimed the account is slow what they really need to say is we overhired for this account and it is in turnaround and we're happy but you all have to fight to meet your line counts. That has been the story for the last week and this week is looking no different. So glad this is only part time for me!! If you're on that account full time I feel sorry for you! ...

Anyone else suffering from this at Landmark? Worked for company for almost 10 years as an employee. Now all of a sudden they lost an account, have no work available to compensate for it. Notified us by an email which I personally never received. Asked if I wanted to be put on a waiting list for new work. Are you serious? I'm just baffled that they have gone to treating their MT's this way as they have been nothing but great to work for in the past. ...

Just want to know what I am getting into before I return their call. Thanks so much! ...

Landmark is hiring for a Bayscribe Oncology account. Just a heads up, I currently work on a Bayscribe oncology account for them and I NEVER EVER have work! I made $237.00 for the last 2-week paycheck. I don't know if it is the same account they are hiring for, but even if it isn't, I have asked and asked for a new account, getting no response. Just a warning, don't quit your day job! ...

I am wondering why in the past 2 months or so the VR on my main account has become worse than when the drs were first VR. I am finding myself typing more than 50% of the supposed VR instead of just editing it and dropping my paycheck even further. This is very frustrating when you are stuck on a VR for triple the time or more of the actual audio time. I proposed this question to upper management and their response was that they have no idea why this is happening, but they are seeing this a ...

e-mail we got yesterday about the account that starts with "B". I'd rather not ask the company in a reply mail about it. So if someone could message me, I'd appreciate it.

Once again, we aren't allowed to work on my account due to low volume. This is about the fifth time in the past week. I've only been with Landmark for 6 or 7 months and I'm really starting to regret taking a position there. It was great for the first few months, but then the work started disappearing. Lucikly, I have a second interview next week with another company. If I get hired, I'll probably just keep Landmark as a side job, because that's really all it� ...

Here we go again! Same story, different day, week, month or year it seems! Landmark hires 40+ MTs for a "new hospital account" and the work trickles in like water out of a cement block! Why hire 40+ full time MTs to cover what is soooo obviously an over flow account? why promise work and talk of "worried we may not have ENOUGH coverage....." if you know you have a slew of MTs trying to make an honest living on an account you have so totally overstaffed its ridiculou ...

After the flurry of posts on this board this week regarding Landmark and then doing more research on my own in the archives on Landmark, I have decided to move on. I am an employee of Landmark also. I believe where there is smoke, there is fire to follow.

So, I am finding another job and I suggest everyone on th ...

I would like to apply but don't want to waste my time if there isn't enough work in the first place. Thanks for your help. ...

Landmark posting for radiology jobs? I work for them and barely have any work. Please look at the people you already have hired before you hire more. That's why people don't stay.

I'd love to hear from you. ...

I just saw an ad on the job seeker's board for Landmark stating they are hiring for VR because their account is switching to VR. Does anyone know if this is across the board for Landmark?
