There's an ad for AMT on the Job Seeker's Board that takes you to info about Landmark when you click on the Click here for more details link. ??
I love it. They want 10-12 hours a day, 3 days in a row. Hopefully they mean split up between the 2 MTs. If not, they better be supplying a voucher for carpal tunnel surgery, gah.

Landmark Transcription/no work
This company really has nerve. They've posted a job ad, but they have not had work for their current MTs for weeks now. They lost a bunch of accounts, tried to shuffle their MTs to the accounts that were left, but there just is not enough work to go around. So, why post an ad when there are MTs without enough work every day of the week?
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LANDMARK TRANSCRIPTION?
Sorry I came into this discussion after the thread that obviously explains everything has been removed, but are we talking about Landmark Transcription? Someone please fill me in on what is going on. It sounds like they have cut the MTs pay in half to do VOR maybe??
Landmark Transcription...any info on how they pay for radiology...sm
By report or by line? What is starting wage? Enough work? Nice company?
TIA
I know this has been asked before but are there any more opinions on Landmark Transcription and also
the quality of their platform and hospitals they have. Any info would be appreciated. This is an IC position.
Does anyone work for Landmark Transcription by any change. Can you email me your opinion of them.
Thank you.
Has anyone worked for Landmark Transcription? Will you share pros and cons please?

Anyone taken the transcription part of NTS
National Transcription Services test? This is one of those mttest.com things so probably isn't representative of their dictation, but good grief.
TRS - Part-time transcription?
Hey, does TRS hire part-time transcriptionists? Someone told me they had a hard time making lines with TRS...anyone have any experience with them?
part time transcription
I did check there - thanks
A wav pedal for the audio transcription part....(sm)
I honestly don't know if you NEED one or not...there may have been manual 'play/pause' buttons you could click on with a mouse, but I cannot remember for sure, so don't quote me on that. Reference books are definitely handy...I had to break open my AAMT rule book for a couple of things I wasn't 100% sure on, and even had to pull out my old dusty Dorland's that I've been using as a foot rest for some obsure thing I couldn't get a definitive answer off the 'net from.
Like I said, I enjoyed taking the test because I've honestly never tested before. I've only been doing transcription for 5 years now, and it was always with the same company, and still have oodles to learn. The part I enjoyed most though was the actual sample transcriptions. Fun to hear other voices and accents and type up material I never got exposed to before.
Just give it a shot! After you finish a 'block' of testing, it asks you if you want to stop and come back to it later or keep going. When you first sign up for the testing, it assigns you a log-in and password, solely for that purpose that if you need to take a break or plain ol' stop, you have that option.
I shoulda asked the interviewer how I did. No part of the test said anything like, 'Sorry, but you stink and you can go away now.' I guess if you pass one part it feels you are good to go onto the next? No idea honestly.
Go on...just do it.
The two ladies that I talked to, both before and after testing, were very nice and I'm sure it's a great company. I just knew where I really wanted to be is all.
Yes, the transcription part is easy because I have been doing this for so long but some of the
terms that I dont use a lot I forget the meanings if they have a lot of parts to them. The terms I am used to are a breeze but they seem to put in words some of which I dont use frequently. So, we shall see. I was sort of fun actually. I did the test after working a whole day and not sure that was the best thing.
What part of 'LABOR BOARD' does the medical transcription
By all means, take advantage of their lack of labor law knowledge, and SUE THEIR LITTLE HINEYS!
looking for transcription co that needs at-home part-timers and provides equip/software
Does anyone know of a transcription company that needs part-time at-home transcriptionists and provides equipment and/or software?  Thanks!
Leslie
They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
There is a part-time and a flexible part-time, just left there and they offered
me both. Flexible, however, is more or less when they need you (I.e. weekends), part-time is fixed hours.
Landmark
What kind of transcription equipment does Landmark use?
Landmark -sm
Just a warning. If anyone takes a job with this company and decides to leave, you probably will not get paid. My phone calls and e-mails have been ignored and I am getting really angry. I worked for 2 days and hated their system of looking up physicians, leafing through pages and pages of physicians by hand. So, I decided not to stay with them, sent my equipment back immediately and have not been paid. Anyone know if there is anything else I can do, besides hounding them?
TIA - K
Landmark
Does anyone out there know anything about Landmark Transcription? How are they?
Don't go to Landmark
I don't know about Lee Perfect or Keystrokes, but I do know about Landmark. They hired several of us as full time with benefits, then took away our benefits and switched us to IC status! (That's when most of us quit.) There was NEVER enough work. I was lucky to get 10-15 hours of work in my 40-hour week. They're notorious for overhiring. They're sweet and pleasant, but that doesn't pay the bills. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
Landmark
I don't know anyone who has had enough work at Landmark. Ever. This goes for MTs and QA. They purposely overhire. Yes, the accounts and platform are great, but there is never enough work. There is a HUGE turnover at Landmark because of this.
To the Landmark ER MTs out there
I am considering a position with them, but I don't want to make the wrong decision. I am concerned about the work load specifically on the ER accounts. If you have experience one way or the other about this, could you please email me privately. Thanks for your time.
Landmark
I've only been with Landmark for about 2 weeks now but haven't run out of work yet. So far I'm really liking it, everyone seems really friendly and helpful.
Landmark
1. You'll be hired full time as an employee with benefits and then suddenly, without notice, be switched to contractor status with NO benefits.
2. You'll be promised full time work, but you'll be lucky to have enough work for 20 hours a week.
3. Your emails and phone calls to the office will go unanswered and when they DO answer, they will tell you to be patient and wait just a couple more months and there will be lots of work. They lie constantly.
I would run as fast I could from Landmark. In fact, that's what I did when I realized all the lies they were telling me.
Landmark
Message to D: Got your email at my personal address. Don't want to write from there, as don't want Landmark to know who I am. Anyway, yes, if you want to be an IC and only want 15 hours a week, then Landmark is perfect for you. My account there was wonderful; I miss that account, but needed more work so switched companies. You'll be fine. 
landmark
anyone work there applied there or have any comment TIA
Landmark
 My friend works for Landmark - started on acute care and was then moved to an oncology account at her request. She is quite happy. They called me to come to work for them, but I was in the middle of a medical emergency with my son (he was in an accident) and could not take the stress of caring for him and learning a new account. That's not to say that I won't contact them in the future - the timing was just not right for me at the time.
Landmark ????
All transcriptionists who are, or have worked at Landmark, would you please either e-mail me or post here telling me what you think of working for this company... pros, cons, average cpl rate. They have an ad for an oncology job that I am thinking of applying for and would like to hear all the good, bad, and ugly regarding this company. Thanks for your input!
Landmark pay...
Has anyone gotten their paycheck yet? They said noon, but mine ain't there...
Landmark
I just recently started for them. I work part time. So far, I have had nothing but good to say about them but as I have just started, I am not feeble-minded enough to know that things can and will go wrong. I will deal with it as it comes up. As for Bayscrib, it is a lot better than the other account I work for who shall remain nameless. I hate their platform.
Landmark
Landmark is a very enjoyable company to work for. The people are very pleasant, helpful, and they really do care about their transcriptionists. Pay is always on time as well. Overall, a very wonderful company to work for.
Landmark
Being Nice doesn't pay the bills. Yes, the direct deposit is always on time. Tech support is good. QA/supervisors are helpful and supportive. There has often been a problem in the past with lack of work on some accounts. They have previously lost numerous accounts. Now, they have lost enough accounts in a one week period to create an income problem for 40-50% of their MTs. Do you have a solution for those MTs who won't make enough lines to pay their bills or feed their children?
Landmark
I don't quite understand why you would chose to bash me because I chose to say that I enjoy working for Landmark. Let me clarify one thing, I am also an MT who has kids to feed and bills to pay and I also lost my account with Landmark when Landmark lost a bunch of theirs.
I know that it doesn't change the fact that we all have bills to pay and families to take care of. I choose not to blame Landmark for the fact that they lost accounts because they have treated me so well during the time that I was working for them. Losing an account can happen to anyone and trust me it isn't just Landmark.
Should they have work where I am needed again, I wouldn't hesitate to go back to work for them because they really do value their employees and have treated me with complete respect during the time that I have worked for them.
Hard times are everywhere and unfortunately it hit Landmark. Hopefully, in time, they will rebound and all those that lost work/accounts will be back to work soon should they choose to go back.
Landmark
Like MJ, I, too, am very satisfied with Landmark and plan to stay with them. Please remember that all companies, big or small, lose and gain accounts all the time. It is all part of the MT business. We have to be able to roll with the punches. I value this company for its honesty, integrity, for the professionalism of its QA staff and for its excellent tech support. In short, it is an excellent company. It does not offshore. It operates from a position of honesty and integrity. This is an issue that should be of vital concern to every American MT who values his or her job in this profession. The temporary slowdown in work is just that, temporary. I am very satisfied here, as are many people I know. I plan to stay and give Landmark my full support.
Landmark
I would have to respectfully and politely disagree with another MT. The accounts I have worked on at Landmark have not been bottom of the barrel accounts at all. They have been very straightforward, clear, good, acute care accounts which, incidentally, had fewer ESLs that the previous company I worked for.
Landmark
I love this company but I have been off work for a couple of days sick. Can someone clue me in and put the initials of the hospitals that they lost accounts on. I was offered another job and I may just take it if there is no work for me to go back to tonight. I love the people, the tech support, the work was easy as pie, the platforms were easy. It will be a shame if I have to leave them. I have over 30+ years experience. Maybe they were too lenient with their MTs. I still care about these people. I have never had a problem at all.
MDI-MD or Landmark?
I am looking for a company that uses Bayscribe and I know that both of these companies do. Has anybody gone to work for MDI-MD or Landmark who can tell me what there is to know about either company, good, bad, etc.? If you had your choice, which one would you choose and why? TIA.
Landmark vs. MDI
I was told that Landmark does pay for spaces. Are you free to share what has not gone well with MDI for the folks you know? Why are the others struggling? I need to avoid a situation of not enough work--that is what I am trying to get out of. (I am head of my household and need a stable income.) If you are more comfortable sending info in a PM, that would be great. Thank you.
Landmark
I worked for Landmark for almost a year. They really don't care about their transcriptionists at all. They usually get big accounts, hire like crazy, then after a few months said accounts go to VR, and if you don't want to do VR, you're out of a job. They don't have a lot of accounts, so moving to another one was not feasible.
How was QA with Landmark?
Was it difficult getting off full review when you started? Just curious.
