beware CAC !!!

Some of you Oracle folks out there may be contacted by a recruiter for Consulting Assistance Corp (CAC), based in Atlanta and Dallas, for either contract or perm work.

Based on my experiences with this company, I urge you to carefully consider their willingness and ability to pay their bills before you commit your time and/or expense money to them.

I did a few weeks of consulting for them back in August and September. I am still trying to get paid. They currently owe me about $8K. The amounts they have paid so far were paid late, and after much hassling. They made a few increasingly-smaller partial payments in November and December, including one $5K check that was returned by their bank for insufficient funds. Their response to my calls about the bounced check was to refuse to return my calls and to hang up on me when I called them.

The CAC president, Ken Lockhart, has made repeated threats against me, on tape, including threatening to come to my home and beat me up, for pestering them about paying my bill. In December, they promised to pay it off in full in early January, so I quit contacting them regularly about paying me. I talked to Ken 1/10/00, and he finally admitted CAC has no money to pay its bills. He acknowledged that he owed me the money, but he said he had no idea when my bill would be paid.

There was never a question about the quality of the work. Both end clients, as well as CAC, were very pleased with what I did for them. But they certainly seem to me to have a significant cash flow problem. One of their clients told me I was the only bright spot in their entire dealings with CAC.
