Pros
Benefits are great for a starter job our of college, many of the CACI staff, trainers, and fellow investigators were professional, kind human beings
Cons
When I applied and when I wrote this review, the CACI website shows in their landing page that background investigator jobs are for those looking for "work/life balance" and "flexible hours" - It was also touted this way on in the description where you apply for the job. I asked about how this works in the job interview and during training. I was told that you can work 12 hours one day and then 6 hours the next if you wish, just get your 40 hours in each week and get the job done. From what I hear from other investigators, this is true, except if you live in California. In order to comply with California's rules of treating hourly workers fairly as far as breaks and compensating for overtime, you have to work 8 hour days with little flexibility. To actually complete the intense workload of cases they give, I would have had to basically lie on my timecard to comply with the impossible combination of other people's availability for interviews, the strict California laws, and CACI's emphasis on hitting your "numbers" or metrics for quantity and quality. In any other state, the hours appear to be truly flexible, but the workload is still not in line with the pay. I left because I refused to be placed in that impossible situation and live in fear of any leg of that precarious stool from falling out from under me. The computer/technology provided for the job is quite antiquated. IT issues plagued training and also cause lost hours of productive time.
