i've been in call center industry for nearly 5 years now, tried outbound and inbound and i enjoyed both. yes,that's right that there's side effect working at night. you will miss out some fun night with friends, but what the heck if you're earning you're living.
One of the bad side effects, drastic weight gain , because sometimes just to stay awake, you will just eat junkfoods, chocolates, candies, sandwich etc at your stations while making or taking calls. Since, you don't have enough sleep, tendency you will get energy from food to stay awake until after shift.
I also developed homonal imbalance, too bad. I developed polycystic ovary, my menstuation got confused, so what happened, my menstuation got delayed for one, two or three months, I even thought that I was pregnant since I have boyfriend then, na naging cause pa ng break up( another story for that). Doctor said that's one side effect of working at night, she said a lot of call center agents experiencing that, and worst because of polycystic ovary, there's also effect on getting pregnant again, that's the worst part, that's the price of working at night and earning higher than regular job. I already have son, single mom..but of course i'm still creaming of a baby girl who will inherit my good genes hehehe...
Since, i'm already in the call center industry and I'm loving it, I love my work, i love the people worked with, got promoted twice last year and now a call center supervisor. I can say i was compensated. I know i can still have a baby in God's time, not yet tired of trying. it will come on the right time if I need to get a daddy first for my soon to be new baby.
All in all, there's bad effect but a lot of good side effect, new friends, lots of friends infact, cool people, great perks, good lifestyle and most of all I have career. Still in call center and I will stop maybe another years then will put up business and consultancy also. :headsetsmiley:
