Landmark Merchant Solutions ripoff Schaumburg Illinois

Man oh man oh man is this a shady, shady company. First off, they lock you into a 48 month lease for CC processing equipment that you could easily buy for $150 at CostCo.

They offer you a website to sweeten the deal, too bad it is a piece of crap website that is nowhere near professional. We were told to paint this AMAZING picture of how the site would help any business, quite funny actually. We're told to sell it as a $2000 website...more like $200. And the 'team' of web developers? HA, try more like one really fat guy and his ugly girlfriend. All they do is eat hot pockets all day and laugh as they 'create' sites that are all based off of a template from the company Landmark has an agreement with. They are all the same.

Each employee goes through this week of training on how to rip off customers, it's hilarious the methods we were taught by Tim and George and the rest of the shady 'team leaders'. We were required to wear a shirt and tie to a job that involves ZERO face to face customer interaction, which is hilarious when you look at other merchant account companies and their attire.

Every morning is nothing short of a Hitler Youth rally. Hooting and hollering, led by Tim and/or George, announcing the sales of the previous day. So funny, oh so funny.

Drug use is also rampant. Many a time I would walk into the bathroom, only to hear that common sound of blow being snorted through a dollar bill.

Here's another great Landmark tradition: FORGERY!!!! That's right, forgery. In the time I worked there, I was taught by all of the other veterans that we just create forgeries of many documents that the merchants are supposed to sign.....AS A MATTER OF FACT, one of the senior team leaders created so many forgeries for one of his deals that he got caught. Did he get fired? No. Did the big wigs know about it? Yes. I personally did it on nearly every deal I closed, and I know that every other sales guy there did the same exact thing. I regret it now though. Right there is a gleaming example of how shady this company is, from the CEO jew boss, all the way down to the sales guys.

It's pretty classic that Tim has to come on these boards and post rebuttals against these merchants, I'm sure that the higher ups instruct him to so do so though.

I feel kind of bad for Tim because he seems like there is some part of him that has to hate his position, but I'm sure the 6 figure salary helps him feel better. That, and the fact that he sleeps with the customer service girl (who just so happened to work in sales before she started to spread her legs for him). Ooops, did I just say that?

And any complaints to Landmark end up on the phone with George, a 26 year old who still can't kick the acne vulgaris. I've heard him berate customers, employees, basically anyone that talks back to him. I guess that's why he's so good at his job.

This company will eventually go down in flames, it will just take a valiant effort by those who truly want it to happen.

In closing, I'm not trying to stop people from being stupid and choosing Landmark...they still will. I'm just trying to validate the complaints that people are posting on here.
