Alot of people love rotating shift work but plenty of people that hate it. Different places do it differently so that has alot to do with how bad or good it can be. Some places you do nights one week then days the next, then back to days and so one. Some places do 2 weeks on nights, then 3 weeks on days (with a training week on days). I believe there is one plant that does 4 weeks on nights then 6 weeks on days... Point is ask exactly what the rotation is to find out how it will affect you. But really you may not know what you like until you try it. I hate it, but that was because it was one week on nights then one week on days so you were changing every week. So maybe that 6/4 rotation would be ok. I don't mind nights, but the switching back and forth every week was terrible. I and C would be different as well depending on where you work, but mostly day shift I am assuming with some nights and being on call depending on work load. I think with I and C you would have a much better chance of being on days. But you need to ask the hiring guy. In a sense TVA is right, get a job offer and just roll with it. Plus getting your foot in the door would be good and you can always move around if you don't like where you are. And like I said before, you don't truly know whether you will like rotating shiftwork until you do it. You get long spans of days off but there is one week where you might only get one day off. My #1 piece of advice is DO NOT buy a house until you are fairly sure you want to keep working there and the plant will continue to operate more than 5 years. Unless you are from the area and will live there regardless. Maybe some people could chime in here and give us a recent snapshot of what they have going on at their plant and some of the specifics.
