Time Off!
At AAVEC we believe in Work - Life Balance and a healthy lifestyle which means the shift you are hired for is the shift time you will work every shift. This will help your life have some normalcy and consistency.
We also believe in LOTS of time off, vacations, and spending quality time with your loved ones. Our rotation schedule was created by our veterinary technicians with the intent that it would allow them to take multiple vacations a year with using very little of their paid time off and would keep them from having to work every weekend.
Every other weekend you will have 3 days off in a row, guaranteed. By only using 2 days of your PTO you are able to take 7 days off in a row multiple times a year.
Your schedule is also tentatively made for the entire year so you can make plans long in advance and also have a part time hobby or job if you choose.
