I miss most holidays and family functions- like Thanksgiving.
#2nd shift hours plus
I never see my roommates(which I guess can be both a plus and minus), and it’s hard to have a relationship(my most recent GF- well last 2) ended the relationship because of so little time spent together. I spend a lot of time alone, both at night and during the day, which can get lonely. Downside is there isn’t shit open at 3 AM except taco shops and fast food. The days I get off at 8, I can still go to meet folks for dinner or head out to bars for drinks with friends. There isn’t ever traffic when I go to or get off work(I live in Southern California, where traffic is bad). I can go places during the day that aren’t busy- like the bank, gym, grocery store(especially Trader Joe’s), the movies, restaurants, etc. The plus side is I get to sleep in and never have to wake up to an alarm. Now that I’m getting older, getting off work at 2:30-3AM isn’t as great as it used to be, but I still have shifts where I get off at 8 PM. Additionally, in the case of truck drivers, the roads are often less busy at night, making it easier for them to get from A to B in a timely manner.I’ve worked that kind of shift for a long time now, and I kinda like it. This is because transportation services are around-the-clock services and there are always customers who need to be taken from one location to the next.

Healthcare: Healthcare facilities like hospitals, emergency rooms, and hospice centers must have employees working 24 hours a day to ensure patients are taken care of. Split swing shifts are especially common in restaurants and are referred to as ‘working doubles’ by employees and managers. Hospitality: Hospitality establishments like restaurants, casinos, and hotels are open late into the night or 24 hours a day and need employees to be present to see to customers. Employees will often work several different shifts that vary from week to week or month to month in retail. Additionally, some stores are open late into the night or even 24 hours a day, so employees need to be present around-the-clock to accommodate customers.

Each organization will vary in exactly how their swing shift schedules work, but most companies typically offer the following shift schedules:
