Arcata's cafeteria benefits plan offers medical and dental insurance for employees and their eligible dependents, life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, and in some locations short and long term disability.

A 401(k) plan, flexible spending accounts, education assistance, and paid vacation and holidays round out our benefits package.

Arcata Wins Cogswell Industrial Security Award

Arcata Associates, Inc. was selected to receive a 2008 James S. Cogswell Outstanding Industrial Security Achievement Award by the Defense Security Service (DSS). The Cogswell Award, DSS's highest recognition of industrial security excellence, was presented to Tim Wong, Arcata president and CEO and Barbara Connors, Arcata facilities security officer at The Society of Industrial Security Professionals seminar on June 18, 2008 in Mashantucket, Connecticut.

Arcata is one of 23 facilities selected to receive an award in 2008 from among approximately 12,000 defense contractor facilities that are subject to annual inspection. The Cogswell Award, which emphasizes the partnership between industry and government to protect classified information, is only awarded to companies that have had a minimum of two consecutive superior industrial security review ratings and exhibit not only excellence, but also innovation in their management, implementation and oversight of their security programs. Arcata also won a Cogswell Award in September 1997.

"We are proud to continue our legacy of excellence in the area of industrial security and to diligently maintain a security program that protects the US war fighter and our Nation's classified information," said Tim Wong.
