Cayuse Holdings

As a whole, Cayuse technologies does a great job of being a stepping stone company for employees to dip their toes in the water of the technologies industry. The company provides fast paste on the job training with teams from our customer locations providing feedback. This gives the worker a sense of realism for what is instore further down the pike if they decide to commit to this field. Contractors become well versed in the tools and applications that are utilized across the globe and the job itself provides a pay off for those who are self motivated. 

Where the company falls short is its lack of availability to move up and out of this rural location. Contractors are not given annual raises and compliancy is rampant among the less driven staff. Ways to correct this is to have a more engaged Supervisor/management team or provide more tasks for the staff to do, but as a whole drive appears to be lacking. 


I will always recommend Cayuse Technologies as a place of employment for those wanting to get involved in this field but, will suggest finding a different place when it comes to finding a place to establish your career.

I worked for Cayuse for few years. In the beginning it was a great job for someone starting out in life. The pay is too low for the cost of living. You get 401k, health insurance, Lower cost for AFLAC PTO. There is some very poor management in this business. If you are not enrolled with the tribe don’t bother wanting to advance without strings attached. You will be held at a different level. Health insurance for yourself is cheap and could be free with some strings attached but to add a family or spouse is outrageous and UN affordable for the amount you make. There is very little room for advancement in this business. This is a great place for someone who just needs a paycheck without any education and very little work experience. It’s sad when the trailer company in town starting wage is higher then Cayuse. The background check seems to be faulty and there is a level three registered set offender in a higher position. This seems to go against the “core values” that this company thrives on. If you are just trying to have a paycheck apply, if you are looking for a career, keep looking.

This was a good job, and was incredibly flexible. I was able to work remotely from home, and handled clients that were typically from stores we were associated with. We typically supported store staff rather than customers.

The low points of the job mainly involved incredibly dysfunctional devices at the story that would regularly have glitches at closing time. Meaning clients were often unable to go home. With many of them collectively glitching out one day while everyone else happened to be at lunch. But I handled the situation professionally until more hands could get on deck.

Generally I had no issues with my coworkers, we all had a nice sense of camaraderie and one co-worker even got promoted while I was there. My only issues had more to do with second-hand stress from our clients.

I left the job to pursue an independent endeavor as a freelance illustrator. 

I primarily work on the front end layer as a User Experience Developer and collaborate with back end Developers for overall production, testing and deployment. My complementary skills for front end development are client development and Business Analyst for functional mock-up and requirement creation. Over 8 years’ experience building and maintaining web applications, websites and portals using HTML, CSS on ColdFusion, CMS and SharePoint Platforms. 12 years creative experience using the full suite of Adobe software for photographic, graphic and webpage development. Solid contributor with the proven ability to work in high-stress, demanding, and deadline oriented positions while successfully achieving desired results. Established skillset in server and website reporting and analysis on hard to report metrics.

They get hired as a software developer, yet most of them are placed in testing positions. There are a good number of nice people and quality employees. 50-60 of the 290+ people are turnover, with most finding better jobs. 

Software skills range from new to 25+ years and from Associates in Computer Science to Masters Degrees and an occasional Doctorate in Computer Science. Some stay longer because they wish to stay in the region (especially the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Richland).

20-30 commute 75 miles (one way) every day from the Tri-Cities.

If you live in Pendleton, it's great. If you want to get paid what you are worth, either wait a couple of years to get a job (though chances are slim) in the Tri-Cities, or move to where the skills are in demand.

This is a good place to work if you have very little education and no real options. Career advancement is based on the buddy system so it can become stagnant. While they offer PTO package that is adequate, the health benefits are horrible. Health insurance is free for the employee, a family will coat you around 1200/dollars a month. This is just with a spouse and one child. The employee barely makes 1200 a month. This brings me to the pay. This is bare minimum and does not increase much on the raises that only come once a year. This is not a place that you want to start your career, this is a place that your career will become stagnant. This is due largely to the major inexperience of HR management and recruitment. So applicant beware, they will sell you a dream but it is not at all what it seems.

Cayuse gave me a long leash, and I appreciated that. As long as I kept the government happy, Cayuse was happy. Most of my PMs were appropriately communicative and I did not feel any undo burdens in terms of extra work were placed on me. They let me do my job, period. 

However, after gaining a unexpected (and appreciated) raise as the result of my PM advocating for the value of my labor, said raise was later rescinded. That didn't feel good. It would have been better to ensure the government was completely on board with increasing our salaries than not. Then we were later told we could expect to work our way back up to that lost salary within 4 years. They also could not guarantee another pay cut would not happen though they said it was unlikely. 

All that said, I would work for them again.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The team I am currently on is amazing, the overall climate of the company is one of growth. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
At times the clients requests can be a bit short notice and overwhelming.  Deadlines that are extremely tight for turn around can cause stress. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Inclusivity, creativity and growth are all impotant here. Work ethic is prized with integrity and a sense of teamwork being one of my favorite things here.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clear understanding of the expectations for the day with an expectation that if you have questions you will ask until you have clarity. Deadlines can be tight, but teamwork will get you through and keep you smiling.

Company does not support employees and fails to pay employees what they deserve, both for experience and education. This company will promise you the world and not deliver. The company is owned by by a Native American tribe and so the push their culture onto their employees.

The management team is disjointed and is unable to make and effective decision. The company lags behind most companies in technology, even though they are a technology company. Mangers are inexperienced and are not given the tools they need to accomplish their tasks.

If you are looking for a company that would support your education or help pay for your training, this is not the company to work for. If you want to progress in your career, I would suggest to start somewhere else.

In my typical day of work I learn the different difficulties that an Store for telecommunication can have with the system or hardware issues with computers, printers, and scanners.  

My co-workers that have more experience give me some tips of how to resolve a new issue that shows up at the moment of the call. if I do not have information related with the issue they are happy to hive a hand to bring a good costumer services to my client.

the hardest part of the job is that a call can be long until one hour for having a serious issue or having multiple issues at the time.

the most enjoyable of the job is the break time between call that  everyone have to share with my coworker some funny situations or know more each one.
