Pros

You can get promoted to the next level investigator if you break your back and work 97 hrs/wk without logging the hours so your metrics will be unaffected.

Cons

The metric system is ridiculous. Horrible clients. You drive everywhere but that drive time is part of your productive hour metrics so, even though you can spend up to 1.5hr/day driving, that 1.5hr is considered as part of your productive time so you better find a way to type and drive at the same time. You cannot escape work; you work from home and you will work all the time. Good bye, life. CACI pays $18/hr in NOVA area to investigators, which if you think covers the cost of living, then you are out of your mind (Hello concurrent employments!). If you choose the highest health insurance coverage plan, then apprx. $500/mo will be paid by you. Insurance coverage is practically non-existent.

Pros

CACI has acquired quite a few smaller companies under its larger corporate umbrella, and although they have stripped these smaller companies of their identities and benefits thereafter, they do provide the safety net that larger companies do provide, but the benefits remain on par with most large defense contractors.

Cons

If you're apart of a smaller company that is either acquired by CACI, or have joined a program that once was a part of a smaller company already absorbed by CACI, you'll slowly watch the people, culture, and identity of that program drift away into corporate nothingness.
