Only certain people are split out to work 3rd Shift.
You have to have a nocturnal personality to be able to handle the hours.
Normally they start around 11 and end at 7 in the day, so when all the people are start their afternoon, you were at the end of yours. I have worked this shift for years and absolutely savor it! However, there are a few downsides. The company that I work for tries to save money on heating and cooling by increasing the temperature during slower times of the afternoon. The problem with this is that we never know how to dress for work. We never know exactly when they are going to adjust the thermostat and change the temperature. I may start my shift feeling hot and comfortable and then by the end be cold cold! During the Summer when the temperatures are high at night, we may start our shift with nice a/c and end it with overheated muggy air. I understand why they do this however I guess it would be more beneficial to just maintain the same temperature all afternoon long. Bringing the plant back up to their desired afternoontime temperature makes the Heating and A/C system work harder. I have mentioned this to management but they do not seem anxious about over working the system. I like my job and the pay is nice so I absolutely have no choice but to stay. I just know that if I owned the corporation, things would be done differently and my employees would have the same comfort level for each shift.
