1 /5 Mark Zimmerman: I was looking for a place to put my nest egg, so I was wanting to open a new account at Landmark.
On Tuesday I raced home to get there before the 5:30 closing time posted on Google, only to find out their lobby closed at 5.
So, today in order to get to the building before the lobby closed, I had to take an hour off of work and drive 30 miles just to get there with a reasonable amount of time left to open my account.
When I entered the lobby it was about 4:15. There was someone seated at the reception window, so I had a seat and waited patiently. When I got to the window it was about 4:20. The receptionist called back to member services, who said they, "dont open new accounts after 4:00," and was sent away with my rather large check in my hands.
It didnt sit right with me. So, I called. I had to call more than a dozen times to get an actual person during regular lobby business hours (now appx 4:45).
When I finally got a person from member services who gave a half apology and passed me off to "Anna," who was a, "Vice President." Anna then proceeded to explain to me that it was my fault that I didnt research the situation enough to know they didnt open new accounts after 4....even though I had been all over their website, checked hours with Google and their lobby door, and was specifically coming in to ask questions about opening an account. Never once did I come across anything that talked about special hours for opening an account.
I guess they dont want my business....and honestly after this experience, Im glad I dodged the bullet.
