At AAVEC, we believe in Work - Life Balance and a healthy lifestyle. Our schedule rotation was created by our teams with the goal of having consistently scheduled days as well as shift times. When you are hired for a particular shift (day shift, mid shift, or overnight shift), you will never be scheduled to work any other shift time. By keeping regular shift times on our rotating schedule, you are able to achieve a real sense of normalcy and consistency in your life. Also, the rotation allows for numerous opportunities to take time off or vacations and only use a minimal amount of PTO.
