CACI International reviews

Unrealistic stat expectations for FI's. Way too much work assigned to realistically do in a 40 hour work week. No time is given for non production time, you will drive all over town in traffic and it will all be counted against you and your stats. Technology is absolutely archaic and prehistoric...expect to spend hours doing admin work because of the horrible technology (websites and programs). Spend extra time doing interviews because they do not have approved forms for source interviews...you have to write everything out. Submitting expenses and daily manifests is like rocket science, even just recording hours in Deltek is ridiculous. Dental is expensive, no floating holidays and you have to use a personal computer for everything else outside of PIPS/FWS. Nothing like having to keep going back and forth to 2 computers because the CACI issued computer is so limited with what it can do. Management is absolutely a joke, enough said on that. Definitely need to improve in the Investigations area and give their employees more to work with because they are losing so much work from their FI's because they can't give them the resources and tools needed to be successful. It was such a bad experience I could not even stay with them for more than 4 months. I refuse to work for a company that has very substandard tools and resources for their employees.

Unrealistic production standards: Without getting into a lot of technical mumbo jumbo that someone on the outside looking in would not understand just know that the production standards are 17% higher than comparable positions from 2 years ago. I can only speculate why the production is higher even though there have been no significant changes to the job in this time. These standards force you to do one of two things. One, miss production goals. This will result in the loss of your position, or Two, work off the clock. I mean work *cough* 40 *cough* hours per week. This is illegal and could result in the loss of your position. Or it would if they cared about it. As long as you are not blatant about it, they will not care. Low pay: I have worked for 2 other contractors performing this same job. With company A: I was paid a little over $46.00 per required unit per week. Company B: $52.00 per required unit per week. CACI: $36.00, per required unit, per week. This illustrates the unrealistic standards of the company as well as the lack of compensation FOR those unrealistic standards. Poor upper level management: A lot of people who have never worked in this field who are making BAD choices. You can tell they are of the "Customer is ALWAYS right mindset", however this should not be the case. The customer in this case is a specific US Government agency. This agency requires it's contractors to comply with certain instructions. No issue there right? Except when you keep giving into these requests without a little push back, they will require more and more and more. Does the rate of the contract go up? NO. Who is blamed for the contract no longer being profitable? The field supervisors, who then passes this on to the field investigators. The rank and file see this CONSTANT capitulation. It does not instill confidence in leadership. Out of date technology, Not given the tools to do the job: In order to get an answer to a question you must go to this website. In order to submit your time sheet, another website. Trying to submit your expense report, that is on this website. Trying to check out material, yet another website. Need to fax something? You are either going to Kinkos, or using the fax machine that YOU BOUGHT. Driving your car for this job is all well and good. You get paid mileage for it, and that is nice. But it is the most important tool you have! A fleet car program shows investigators that the company is invested in you... which CACI is not. Other companies provided cell phones that could be used for personal use. Sure this was a little weird as you had to be constantly vigilant about content friends send you by text, but it was $100 per month that YOU did not have to spend out of your own pocket. CACI restricts your work phone.
