Sass Muffin mentioned that she's looking at a permanent position on the second shift.
In my experience, the first shift was 7 am - 3 pm.
Second shift was 3 pm - 11 pm. Third shift was 11 pm - 7 a.m.
(in Polaroid's heyday, we had crazy weekend shifts, too, with significantly higher pay premiums)
While I've worked at least several years on both the second and third shifts, most of my work experience has been working the first shift, or some sort of daylight hours.
The "off shifts" each have some good points to them (the money is good, the "suits" aren't around much, more autonomy) but I prefer the day hours. And weekends off.
What has been your experience and preference?
