Nightshift Workers- Pros and Cons of Working 11 PM- 9AM
I'm considering taking a night shift job. I'm looking at either a 2:30 to 11 PM position with odd (varying schedule) days off and every other weekend or taking a night shift position with 10:45 PM- 9:00 AM with 7 days on and 7 days off.
Anyone ever work nights, still working nights? What do you like/dislike about it? I'm single, no kids. Either way, at some point if I'm doing well I might be given the opportunity to get a 7-3 time slot. Night crew gets $1.00 more per hour. Both have full benefits. |
Is there a shift premium?
|
I work 9-7, 4 on 3 off. It is awesome, $.50 differential, get good action, usually time to do paperwork.

I was working 4:00p-4:30a Mon-thur
I took the shift because it carried a $2/hr shift premium. |
I've done it in the past. It's great because you get time during the day to take care of errands.....or you can say **** it and sleep in if you want.
The only downfall.....you can go out partying until you get off of work. |
I work rotating 12 hour shifts. Typically 3 days one week and 4 the next. We work all our night shifts in one run of 7 straight nights. Every 4th week we get 7 days off. All in all we work 14 days a month.
I love my schedule and wouldn't want to go back to the proverbial 9-5. Not enough time off to really enjoy it. |

You never spend any money because you work -> sleep -> work. Its ok for a little while but IMO its gets old.

I currently work weird hours, some days, swings and overnights: (Make my own hours, sorta). I uses to like working swings, it sucks now. I hate overnights because I've been doing days since 1999. It's a lot tougher to adjust when you get a little older.
