The only advantage to being a wfs is the ability to skew the numbers in your favor to work overtime. Management has no clue what is really going on, so go ahead and come in on sat & sun then “work” ten to twelve hour days making it look like you are actually flowing the work. Oh and usually they get the better raises...
The R&O WFL I know worked his butt off doing everything they asked Mon thru Sat and was in the first RIF last year after working at Honeywell for 25 years. Be careful what layer you put yourself in. They build up and then let go..
Nnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo
A GROUP LEADER is the same as a WFS...run your A$$ around all day long, fight fires, train people & make sure you get the product out-in-time. It's a joke! No authority & abused from people under & above them.
All the RESPONSIBILITY and no authority... that sums up my experience with the Work Flow Specialist position. You are responsible for everything, Shipments, SAP gaps, missing team members, incomplete WI's, you name it and it was YOUR responsibility but you have no authority, no budget, and no respect to accomplish impossible goals set by a Tyrannical Opera Singer who wants to demonstrate that they are the Queen of the Dragons (Shop Manager) to the GODS of WESTEROS (Phoenix ALT). One dollar more an hour is not worth the mental torture, become a TECH IV and receive a much bigger payoff or move on to greener pastures and chew some cud. Like I did....
A dollar extra per hour for managerial responsibilities = sc-ape goat, sorry, baaaaaaaaaaaad idea
A workflow specialist is basically a lead technician with a few extra responsibilities. It's for people that give a c-ap about others on a team, and would like to advance themselves. No surprise that people here bashing the position. Probably the same people complaining how there is no future for them at Honeywell, and blame leadership for all of their problems here.
What is "a workflow"?
F— no. The only people who want to be work flows are kiss asses.
All the pressure, no authority, for a buck an hour.... almost every WFS I know regretted it....just my thoughts
