MetroEHS Pediatric Therapy

As a BCBA, I like the autonomy they give me as a BCBA, ABA manager and clinic director. They do not micromanage us and I like that! I also really love the collaborative environment; to have multiple disciplines under one roof has been extremely beneficial to me in expanding my knowledge and viewpoint in how I choose to continue carrying out ABA therapy. Metro's focus on collaboration and early intervention truly provides employees with knowledge, insight and rationale of why we do the things we do. Unlike many other companies, Metro is a place where I feel comfortable expressing my thoughts and feelings in absence of feeling as if I will later be reprimanded. I think management has a very open mindset in accepting feedback if it will make a positive impact on the company as a whole which you don't see often. The BEST part of my job is my home clinic, I truly love my Southfield clinic. The team, families we serve, work environment and success of our clients has been so rewarding. Balancing being a BCBA, ABA manager and clinic director is tough at times but my team makes every day worth it. Love my Southfield team.  

Regarding areas of improvement, although I am an experienced BCBA, I personally think oversight of clinicians who are less experienced is an area in which they can approve. There is not much clinical oversight across clinics and I think that makes it hard for small clinics with newer BCBAs to be as successful. Although autonomy is great, I think overall clinical quality in some of the clinics that provide ABA can be improved. I also think Metro could improve in having more uniform policies and procedures, there are a lot of gray areas/lack of guidance on how to do things which result in many clinics doing things their own ways which can lead to confusion and lack of efficiency at times. Overall, I truly enjoy working at MetroEHS and I think they do their best to ensure their employees feel appreciated and are happy :) 

A typical day at Metro EHS in Dearborn Heights was emotionally and mentally draining—not because of the work itself, but because of the environment. I gave my all every day, going above and beyond for the clients and the team, but unfortunately, that effort was rarely acknowledged or appreciated by leadership. This job had the potential to be an incredible opportunity. I genuinely loved the work I was doing, especially serving the children and families. However, I eventually realized I could no longer continue under leadership that did not reflect the values I stand for.

I take pride in the work I do, and I want to represent the companies I work for proudly. Sadly, this was not a place I could confidently stand behind. While the clinic director is a skilled professional who works well with clients, there is a noticeable lack of support for the staff. Employee morale is extremely low, and I witnessed more burnout here than anywhere else I’ve worked.

What I learned from this experience is invaluable: I now know that a healthy work environment truly matters. A job should contribute to your life, not consume it. I learned that being treated as more than just a number should be the standard—not a luxury.

Management was the most challenging aspect of this job. Many of the good staff members left or are in the process of leaving, simply because they were not being supported or provided with the tools they needed to thrive. The workplace culture is advertised as collaborative, but in reality, there is a clear divide—especially between the ABA and PT/OT departments. There is little communication or cooperation between these services, and it creates a fractured, inefficient environment for both employees and clients.

The best part of this job, without a doubt, was the clients. My heart has always been with children with special needs, and they were the reason I stayed as long as I did. Leaving them was the hardest part, and I still think about them. They deserved better—so did we.

I worked at this company for a while and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the salary was competitive and the HR representative I worked with was great, always responsive and helpful. There were also opportunities for continuing education, which I appreciated. Some of the staff I worked with were knowledgeable and I learned a lot from them.

However, there were also some serious downsides to the job. The building was old and had many problems, which was a major issue. The company also did not take the Covid-19 pandemic seriously, which was a big concern (there was not time scheduled between sessions to effectively sanitize and the health screening was only enforced intermittently). Additionally, upper management did not seem to value input from employees and was not open to feedback. The scheduling was inflexible and varied person to person, which made it difficult to manage work-life balance. The company also made changes to policies without warning or input from employees, which was frustrating. The for-profit business model placed a higher value on the quantity of clients over their quality of experience, which I felt didn't line up with my core values. Lastly, the CEO seemed more focused on expanding the company and the number of locations they had, rather than the quality of services provided, which was disheartening.

Overall, while there were some positives to my time at this company, the downsides were significant and outweighed the benefits. I would not recommend working here.

I worked at the Clarkston location as a Behavior Tech for seven months and it was a truly rewarding experience that helped me grow both professionally and personally. The workload that involved one-on-one sessions with children was sometimes intense, which required patience, flexibility, and quick thinking. There were definitely moments when it felt overwhelming, especially when progress was slow or when behavior challenges arose. However, management was always there to provide guidance, encouragement, and feedback. They created a work environment where open communication was encouraged, so I never felt alone in facing difficult situations.
The training and ongoing support were exceptional, which made a huge difference in my ability to handle the complexities of the job. Management consistently checked in, not only to ensure that I was performing well, but also to offer reassurance and discuss strategies for success. This level of encouragement helped me stay motivated, even when I encountered tough days. It was clear that they care about the well-being of their employees and understand the unique challenges of working in ABA therapy. This company shows genuine love for what they do and it seems they value both their clients and employees deeply.
Overall, I would highly recommend working at this company to anyone interested in pursuing a career in ABA therapy. Despite the inherent challenges of the role, the supportive environment created by management makes it an incredibly fulfilling place to work. The emphasis on continuous training, open communication, and genuine care for employees’ success sets this workplace apart. If you're looking for a job that not only provides meaningful work but also ensures you have the support and resources to thrive, this is the place for you.

Working at MetroEHS has been a fantastic experience that I am incredibly grateful for. From the very start, it was clear that the company values collaboration and supports its employees in a meaningful way. The team dynamic is exceptional—everyone works together seamlessly, and there's a true sense of camaraderie that makes coming to work feel like being part of something BIGGER.

What stands out most to me is the trust and autonomy I’ve been given. Management genuinely believes in my abilities, which not only motivates me but also allows me to take ownership of my work and bring forward my ideas. I’ve never felt like my voice doesn’t matter—on the contrary, management is always open to listening and implementing suggestions that improve the way we work.

The work-life balance here is simply amazing. While I appreciate the flexibility and support to ensure that my personal life is prioritized, I honestly love working here so much that it feels more like *homing* from work rather than going to it. There’s an undeniable sense of fulfillment and joy in what I do, and that’s a rare thing to find in any workplace.

Overall, MetroEHS has been an incredible place to grow professionally and personally. It’s a company where people are supported, trusted, and valued, and it’s truly an honor to be part of such a wonderful team.

Although my duration of employment was short, I enjoyed working with such a great group of individuals.  Our clinic setting was small, but we worked well as a team and provided needed support to each other.  Typical work days were busy, but still enjoyable due to the additional support of staff.  During my year of employment I learned a lot.  The most challenging part of this position, adjusting to each day because your typical day is not "typical".  You learn to be very dynamic, and adjust to the needs of your client and their family.  The hardest part of this position, was leaving!  When you find your area of passion, leaving is the most difficult part.  Most enjoyable part of this position was learning the needs of each child/client, exploring their likes/dislikes and witnessing their achievements. 
Management, was less then to be desired (not including clinic director).  At times management was not responsive and unsupportive.  Displacement from the company was unethical, and unprofessional and handled very poorly.  Additional support from clinical director was consistent, responsive and supportive. 


I’ve only worked at metro for 6 months, but it has been a great place to start out as a new grad! The Southfield location specifically has been amazing. Truly everyone who works there is great and it’s a great atmosphere. I love how collaboration is emphasized between OT, SLP, and ABA. The BCBAs and techs are great, often helping us out, sitting in sessions, and giving tips for outpatient kiddos when needed. Productivity standards are reasonable and achievable, and the bonus plan is nice. 
Point of service notes aren’t too bad if you are efficient at writing notes. However they can add up when you have progress notes and evaluations, which can result in occasionally taking notes home with you after work or on weekends. 
One of my cons would be that I wish we were offered a few sick days instead of having to use our PTO. The kids are constantly getting sick and it makes us clinicians sick as well! Going off that, I do wish our OT gyms got cleaned a little more thoroughly especially during cold/flu season. Us clinicians only have so much time in our day to be able to clean and it seems like our floors/mats barely get cleaned. 
Besides that I would definitely recommend this job and location. Lots of opportunity for learning and growth!

As a former technician for this locations, I wanted to point out that the technicians do a great job with the children. They are phenomenal at their job. But this one star is for the company as a whole. Admin at this location is unprofessional, there are things said behind closed doors that disrespect the technicians. The higher up is focused on mass production of the company instead of the quality of the company. It’s unorganized, they don’t value the workers or the clients. The children barely have a space to play and let out energy because they wanted to build more spaces to hold more children. When decisions are made that might impact the growth of the client  the technicians are not given any say or even asked our opinion. They just make decisions and the technicians have to deal with how the clients might react because their routine has changed. Admin complains about how the children choose to interact with sensory items, they complain about how loud the children can get when they are over stimulated. As of right now things have gotten so bad that there is a mass exit of technicians who chose to leave the company because  of inconsistency with hours and not feeling appreciated by the company.

While I was completing my masters degree in occupational therapy (OT), I worked with the company as a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT). They offer a wonderful opportunity to apply for an educational stipend that assisted with paying my tuition while I was in school. It was also a great way for me to get my foot in the door and gain experience hours before becoming a licensed OT. 

I really enjoyed the collaborative atmosphere and supportive team while working as an RBT, so when I became a licensed OT it was an easy choice for me to return. 

I now work for the company as a new grad OT, and couldn't imagine a better fit! My coworkers are extremely supportive and there are many opportunities for mentorship and interprofessional collaboration. The company offers great benefits and 401K package. I highly recommend joining this team if you are interested in working in pediatrics.


I started at MetroEHS 10 months ago and this company has ample opportunities for learning. We collaborate across different professionals to offer the best treatment including disciplines such as BCBA’s, SLP’s, O.T’s, and P.T’s. A typical day at work includes playing with children. Obviously we do other things such as assessments, programming, collecting data, using antecedent and consequence strategies, although if you can play….You’re already doing 70% of the job! I started at Detroit and the atmosphere here is CONTAGIOUS!!! All the staff have so much love for each other and they deeply care about the clients. They constantly demonstrate compassion! When a new person starts, everyone goes out of their way to make that person feel like part of the family! My favorite thing about MetroEHS is the training and support system they have in place. No one is ever alone. No matter the position….title….a hierarchy is designed for support! This ensures the highest level of quality and continuous learning. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to make this my home.
