CACI International reviews

I just started as a level one background investigator. I had 6 weeks of training, and once you get into the field it seems as though the training was a waste. Nothing learned in training comes close to what you actually do. It is also hard to get a direct answer from anyone. If I ever have a question I have to call at least 3 people all of which have different answers to my questions. It seems as though no one exactly knows what they are doing. You are graded on your quality and quantity you can produce with unfair metrics. It is very hard to reach an acceptable score when everyone you need to interview will not return your calls. I have had to show up unannounced at a workplace to try and track people down. They don't tell you at all what it is you will be doing when you accept the job, make you sign a year contract, and then you actually find out what you do on a normal day. Also the pay is not substantial enough for what you have to do everyday and it does not differ based on your job location.

The job is super stressful, and has sales-like metrics that are nearly impossible to hit. The people are disinterested in you are why you are trying to take time out of their day. Half of your job is cold calling people like a telemarketer. The pay is not high enough for how much work you have to do. Also, if you hate the job you can't quit for a year unless you want to pay back whatever the security clearance and training costs are.
