Pros

If you like having no life and being overworked, then this place is for you.

Cons

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.

Pros

Great support from other team members

Cons

Communication from the Web Content Analyst lead could be improved. Employees were often expected to complete tasks with limited guidance or knowledge sharing, which made onboarding and professional development more difficult. Interactions with leadership could sometimes feel unnecessarily dismissive or discouraging, especially when employees asked questions or requested clarification on technical processes. Expectations and priorities occasionally changed without clear communication, creating confusion and additional stress for team members trying to meet deadlines and deliver quality work. Technical information sometimes felt unnecessarily restricted, which created challenges for collaboration, efficiency, and overall team growth. Feedback was not always delivered in a constructive or supportive manner, which could negatively affect morale and confidence within the team. Stronger communication, mentorship, professionalism, and a more collaborative leadership approach would greatly improve the overall employee experience and workplace culture.
