MIDWEST: Efficient and pleasant. The best to work with overall and best at meeting timelines.

SOUTH: Very friendly but not very efficient. Lots of dropped balls.

WEST COAST: The most pleasant of all, and pretty efficient, but don't expect ANYTHING to get done after 12:00 noon on Friday.
Being an ex west coaster and current southerner i agree with those descriptions although as a northern Californian we viewed southern Cal as a different country! 😀
