Business people are hungry for modernized tools and willing to invest a lot of $$$ to get them.
Cons
I had never encountered such exclusivity in an IT Dept until I got to Sunbelt. There is an obvious hiring pattern in IT - only specific ethnicity and gender (male) for IT leader roles. This seems to counter the DEI message.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review! This speaks volumes to the culture that we've been actively building. Thank you for being a part of Team!
The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.
Cons
Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
