Advice to Senior Management

Take a look at the mgmt layer at the business development layer and start asking why are these people still here after 5 years with nothing to show for it but taking credit for other people's work

Pros

CACI, is primarily a government contracting firm and the working conditions can vary. For me I am on-site at a Government facility not at a company site so take my review with that in mind.

Very flexible work/life balance, as long as you bill enough hours in your pay cycle (1-15 or the 16-30/31) and the client approves you can work from home (for unclassified work) and/or work a flex schedule (4 10 hour days, etc.)

Most weeks are 40 of direct work

Benefits are starndard except health care converage sucks

As a free on-line unverisity
Free access to Books 24x7 and for an IT profressional I save looks of money that way.

My direct supervisor is a great guy.

Cons

The lack of direction and communication from Senior management who make the big bucks is shocking. With the recent budget showdowns in Washington, I had no idea sometimes if my project was funded and if I should up for work. Hearing whether to show up for work from the newpaper is ridiculous. A little guidance would be great. Even a BS "we feel your anxiety" note would be nice.

The Healthcare benefits are aweful and expensive.

Seems like there are 2 classes of employees those on government site and those at CACi sites and us at the client site don't get the support in the field. And we are the ones interfacing with the customer and billing we are the face of CACI some some guy at HQ.

Way too many levels of management. I swear there are more VPs at CACI then a bank.

Advice to Senior Management

By reducing the manay layers of senior management you could reduce your overhead and compete better and pass those savings down to the work bees.

Pros

Flexible Core Hours 9-3.
Clean and Friendly Environment.
Support Staff are always available.
Equipment is new and replaced as necessary (Computers, laptops, and phones).

Cons

Benefits are good but not great! Co-pays are expensive.
Sometimes it warmer outside than inside.
Office Supplies are locked up and you have request specific items.
Some managers like to micro manage employees.

Advice to Senior Management

I have no advice to offer management.

Pros

If you're in a good business group with good leadership: Good salary, bonuses and benefits, flexible work hours, training opportunites and occasionally very interesting work

Cons

If you're not in a good business group or have bad leadership: Pretty much the opposite of what I wrote under Pros. My previous project was a disaster and I was about to leave the company when my current postion on another project opened.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat line employees as more than just "butts in chairs". There does seem to be movement in this direction but a lot of employees just see it as lip service.

Pros

The salary is not too bad and there is an additional amount of money put toward health benefits by the government which is great. I work at a client site and my coworkers are fantastic.

Cons

Certain "benefits" were advertised which did not hold true when put to the test. Namely, the tuition reimbursement program. I was advised that because I have my Bachelor's degree I have completed all of the required elements to successfully perform my current job (O.o)- Um, of COURSE I fulfill the requirements for my current job- that's why I was HIRED! The onboarding experience was also such a joke that I am just not interested in pursuing anything that this company claims to offer- apart from doing my job of course!

Advice to Senior Management

If you value your employees a little bit more, it would go a long way. From onboarding, we should feel welcomed and our queries encouraged. Finally, an employee's quest to further their education should be seriously considered and not callously denied with nonsensical excuses- if you do not wish for your employees to further their education or if you would prefer for them to adhere to a set program that you have designed and are offering, by all means, simply say so- it would be less of an insult to our intelligence.

Pros

It's good to be appreciated for my contributions!

Cons

Salary and benefits are less than some comparable companies.

Pros

many good people. Good ethical culture

Cons

Too many managers without business/operations accountability.

Advice to Senior Management

improve top down communications; balance out accountability-authority-responsibility across mid-level and sr managers (VP-SVP)

Pros

CACI has great insurance benefits, and the best education benefit I've ever had. Senior management communicates well. Company is constantly generating new business, and has opportunities to move within the company to different contracts. They actually hire from within. One of the best companies I've ever worked for.

Cons

CACI wins a lot of contracts by bidding very aggressively. Salaries are therefore okay, but not exceptional. You might get better pay elsewhere (this is offset by great benefits.)

Pros

Compensation is good, many people work from home a few days a week, good work/life balance

Cons

If you want to grow, find a different company. If you're comfortable, this place is fine.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire your staff strategically, not just to make revenue
