Chicago Business Pulse
- Culture Practical, hardworking, and friendly. A major hub for logistics, finance, and manufacturing.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Chicagoans are known for being practical and direct but also friendlier than their East Coast counterparts. The Central Time Zone is the "Goldilocks zone" for North American business, allowing for easy syncs with both NYC and LA.
Phoenix Business Pulse
- Culture Practical and influenced by the tech and aerospace sectors.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Always double-check the time! Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so its offset with the rest of the US changes twice a year. Reach out between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM. The culture is practical and direct, typical of the growing Mountain West tech hub.
