Lake Shore Savings Bank

This place is an absolute joke & upper management doesn’t know how to properly treat their staff or their customers. You are overworked in an extremely high stress environment while being paid minimum wages. It is also like high school where there are several cliques. You come to work everyday only to constantly get screamed at for something you don’t have control over. Everything is your fault. The staff isn’t properly trained & then you are scolded for messing up. You aren’t given the proper tools or information to do your job correctly. Customers can be absolutely miserable & take their anger out on you. You’ll leave everyday ready to break down in tears. There is no communication & everything is kept a secret. You are left constantly asking questions about stuff you should have been informed about. No one there cares about their employees. All you are is a body to stand there & be mistreated all day while making money for them. You aren’t appreciated at all. They will constantly throw work at you & make you do other job duties not part of your position but will not offer you more pay. You work yourself to the bone for nothing. You will be extremely stressed & struggling but no one will notice or help. DO NOT WORK HERE unless you want your spirit broken & want to be mentally beat down everyday. Upper management constantly blows smoke up your butt whenever you bring up an issue & never does anything to make things better. They no longer cares about the community or their customers; only the money. 

I’ve been working at Lake Shore Savings Bank for a bit, and overall, I like my job. It’s a solid place to work, though it’s had its ups and downs. For a while, the bank didn’t seem to have a clear focus—things felt disorganized, like we were all just winging it in the wild west. Recently, though, there’s been a noticeable shift. The leadership is starting to set a clearer path, and I feel like I can actually contribute to where we’re going, which is a nice change.
One thing I really appreciate is the work-life balance. I get to have a life outside of work, which keeps me grounded. They’re also constantly updating our operations processes, and it feels like we’re moving towards having a more structured back end like other larger banks I’ve worked at. It’s not perfect, but it’s starting to take shape, and I can see the effort.
On the flip side, bringing in new business is a challenge. The bank doesn’t do much marketing, so it’s on us to hustle and grow the customer base. It can be a grind, and I wish there was more support there. It’s manageable, but it’s definitely a weak spot.
Lake Shore Savings Bank is a good place to work. It’s not flashy, but it’s getting better, and I’m okay with being part of that. I’m curious to see how things shape up as we keep moving forward.

Horrible place to work for,  I hope I can help someone else not make the mistake of working here, first & foremost they do not abide by the labor laws, you cannot get a break or lunch, understaffed, there is no one to relieve you, so you are forced to clock out & work through lunch, Pay is a joke, raises are 10-20 cents an hour. Very little if any training but you are expected to know everything. When you call someone to try & get some assistence, no one answers because when you are horribly understaffed no one wants to take the time to help someone else. Accusations are constantly thrown at you & there is no truth to them. Constant stress all day, they treat their employees with no respect at all, No matter how hard you work, they will always find constant fault all day long, this all applies to every branch, most of the accusations & disrespect come from upper management & lower management is expected to implement their strategy on how to treat their employees in this disrespectful way. Their motto is “PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST” what a joke, they treat their customers horribly & they treat their employees even worse. What I have written here is very truthful, hope it helps someone in their job search. 





Low pay for people who have access to very sensitive and personal information of others. Training was a joke. The hands on training from the employees that are the “head”of their department was also not good.  The work day goes super slow because there is a very low amount of customers that come in. They lack in up to date banking technology. They don’t offer any banking specials to their employees after working for them for how ever long. Not much room for advancement unless you are willing to relocate to another branch when a position is available. I resigned from my position because certain staff in higher positions did what I would consider to be VERY inappropriate behavior (inappropriate relationships with customers and third party bank employees) in both my professional and personal opinions. However they were never reprimanded or fired, they were given a better position. My main manager was awesome and many of the others I worked with were great people also. It only takes one to ruin the whole team and work environment.

I have been at this location for a year now and can full heartedly say that this is the place for me. Management is very supportive and help you reach your goals that you set in your job. They are also always there if you need any help. Coworkers are great at teamwork and the team is amazing. Everyone working here currently works together to run the day smoothly, and if anyone needs any help, there is always someone ready to assist. Our CEO is a very caring man who looks out for his employees. The opportunities are limitless at Lake Shore Savings, as long as you are willing to work hard, and put in your all to achieve your goals.  As someone who has worked in multiple branches, I would highly recommend Lake Shore Savings to anyone who is looking for their life long career. 

Read reviews before i worked there and I thought they were maybe not true..so i took the job.. I was so wrong, they were correct the reviews. 

I would say this bank will never compete with the big boys. They don't pay, you get paid more working at Aldis or Wendy's

there benefit deductibles are through the roof, so you will never get any medical care for a low price unless you almost are dead in a hospital racking up the bills just to meet your deducible...Things are done wrong and no one seems to care, its all about top brass and the workers are treated like junk..

They also lie about what you will be doing in the interview...

If your ok with minimum wage and standing on your feet all day and doing everyone's tasks because the lazy people don't get punished, and love gossip, then please apply. You have been warned.

Exactly what the title says. Don’t do it. There is NO TRAINING. Then you are yelled at multiple times that something is done wrong and when you ask the correct way you’re told “you should know this”. The rules are ever changing, they are so understaffed that you can’t even take your lunch. If you have to leave you have to wait until someone can get here from ANOTHER understaffed branch. The president and ceo never show their faces. The managers are a joke who also pawn their work off on the tellers THEN yell when it’s done wrong even thought you had no training and it’s not your job. They’re under paid severely and over worked. And GOOD LUCK GETTING ANY TYPE OF COMMUNICATION 

The salaries are a joke. Everyone is underpaid, and when you try to get promoted you still aren’t going to make what others in your role are making. They keep managers there that are clearly abusing time and disrespecting their staff. The upper management wants nothing to do with the branches. There is zero communication between the back office/upper management and the branches. There is absolutely no training for any position, even manager training. If you need help with something good luck finding someone to either answer your call or the answer within a reasonable time since no one knows what they are doing. Don’t waste your time working here. 

This place was a very toxic, and had a negative work environment. I have never experienced so much drama in one place. Legit everyone is very fake and no one was true to their character. The manager was insensitive and when I would talk to the manager nothing would change. Also literally nothing that we talked to the manager about ever stayed between the manager and the co worker. It always was told to other staff. I hated going to work every single day. I would not recommend this place because there really was not space to move up unless you wanted to relocate. Also they pay was low for all the information that you have. 

Worst company to work for. Upper management doesn’t care. HR is useless. She’ll tell you you’re replacement they don’t care. CEO walks around slapping $20 If you can recite the mission statement very professional. The few good reviews management probably paid them to write. Training is a joke. You make pennies working here, raises are barely anything. Systems are outdated, you must travel to Dunkirk for training because they are behind on today’s day and age and can’t seem to get people don’t want to travel for garbage trainings or meetings. Save your time and go somewhere worth it.
