What behavior technicians in Detroit are tired of

Vague job posts that hide the pay, the schedule, or where the case actually is
Long commutes you only discover after you've already applied
Juggling several cases and agencies with no single place to see it all
Cancellations and no-shows that quietly eat your paycheck
Sessions you worked but were never paid for, with no record to prove it
