I've done both, and I find the differences interesting. Each has it's pros and cons; and some jobs only have days shifts. Some of the things I've noticed.
Night shift means fewer employees and inventory in your way in the BR, but also means more guests on the sales floor (M - F anyway).
SD and ETLs are more likely to be there during the day, which can increase stress in some TMs.
Night shift is more laid back. People listen to music in the BR and curse like sailors, even more than during the day. More is said on channel 1 of walkies. Once day shifters leave, remaining TMs seem to be in a better mood, whether tired or not. And once all the guests are gone and the doors are locked, TMs, even closing TL, are more chill and goofy, but still work hard.
Day shift is a more intense work out in terms of steps walked, ladders climbed, and weights lifted.
More staff during the day means there will likely be someone there to answer questions quickly, especially regarding locating inventory for fulfillment. Unless a particular TM or two in softlines is there at our store, when you ask a TM from style to go to channel 2, it can be met with silence. Repeat calls yield the same results.
What have you noticed?
