9 Reasons to Work at Landmark Recovery

Are you in the market for a new job? You are not the only one. In August 2021 alone, the U.S. government reported that roughly 4.3 million Americans left their jobs, what is now being called “the great resignation.” Whether for economic reasons, burnout during the pandemic, company changes, or a combination of all three, it seems that people are more determined than ever to find jobs that do more than just pay the bills. Sound familiar?

Enter Landmark Recovery, an innovative drug and alcohol rehab treatment organization, but also a different kind of employer – an employer people are excited to work for. As someone who has worked for Landmark since 2017, I can attest to that. Our mission is to “unlock human potential.” Unlocking human potential applies to those we serve, but I also feel Landmark is helping me, and everyone employed by the company, achieve their full potential.

How, exactly? Well, I started working as a night-shift, weekend nurse for Landmark Recovery of Louisville in 2017. Then, I transitioned to Nurse Supervisor, then Assistant Director of Nursing, and I am currently serving as Director of Nursing – all in three years!

Then this year, as Landmark celebrated its fifth year in business, our Louisville facility was recognized by Newsweek as one of “America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers 2021” and as the “#1 Best Addiction Treatment Center in Kentucky.” Talk about feeling like I was a part of a mission that is truly making a difference!

Beyond my work promotions and the lives that have been changed right here at our Louisville facility, here are 9 other reasons that I love working for Landmark:

1. I believe in Landmark Recovery’s values. 

Landmark truly takes a personal approach to help people find recovery. They give them a strong clinical program with introduction to different ideas and ways to achieve sobriety. They have wonderful after-care options and are constantly trying to improve. They are different than any other treatment facility that I have ever seen!

2. Every day, I get to be part of something bigger than me. 

Seeing the change in our patients once they experience that first glimpse of hope (that “lightbulb moment”) is endlessly rewarding! It is truly miraculous to witness and be part of.

3. Our company culture is positive, healthy, and focused on its goals.

I truly love coming to work and being with my coworkers. We are a great team that truly wants to help each other, and our patients, succeed.

4. If you have struggled or currently struggle with addiction, Landmark is supportive.

You can expect to meet Landmark employees and alumni with incredible stories of recovery and hope who are making a difference working with our patients. I am in recovery myself and can say that I feel supported.

Not only is our work environment inclusive and non-judgmental toward employees who have struggled with addiction in the past, Landmark Recovery also offers services for employees who are currently struggling with a substance use disorder.

5. Landmark pays well and is highly competitive with salary.

We are paid higher than anyone else in our field. They also just announced a competitive Escalator Program, a program that makes our compensation and benefits transparent from the beginning.

Your role’s entry rate of pay will be competitive with what other employers are offering in your market. Upon review, your pay and benefits will increase after 6 months with the company, 1 year, and 2 years. By the time you reach your second year of service, your rate of pay should be higher than that offered for roughly 90% of other similar roles in your market.

6. Our benefits are great and are getting better: student loan repayment, 401K matching, unlimited PTO.

The Escalators Program also guarantees your benefits will increase with your service. At 6 months, you will be eligible for our student loan repayment program, which offers over $5,000 per year towards the cost of your student loans (with no lifetime cap). At 1 year, employees become eligible both for company paid contributions to your health savings account and for a fully vested 4% matching contribution to your 401k program. We also have additional benefits planned for 2 years of service. 

Oh, and we have unlimited PTO!

7. Landmark Recovery is growing rapidly, and there is room for growth in positions. 

I went from night-shift weekend nurse to Director of Nursing in three years, and there is more opportunity yet to grow! I am forever grateful that Landmark believed in me and has allowed my path to be dictated by my intuition. I truly believe they want me to succeed.

8. I love my boss.

And I love her boss, and so on, all the way up to the CEO. I love what our CEO is trying to do, and I am proud to be part of this team.

9. I believe there is no place like Landmark, and I am a fixture of this company along with so many others.

I truly feel valued by Landmark Recovery, but I also love my work. Like my grandfather always said, “If you have a job you love, you will never have to work again!”
