Both JB Hunt and Tyson Foods are nearby. Both very large Fortune 500 companies. Lots of smaller companies that work with Walmart have offices there, too.

And as others have said, it's mountain bike heaven. Super low cost of living, too.

Not my thing and I wouldn't move there, but for some folks it's very attractive.

Two companies does not a lot of options make.

If they're not looking for tech that week then you're out of luck. Plus neither has much of a reputation for running 'labs'.

Smaller companies affiliated w/ WM may not have much to offer, esp. if you want to get away from that world or do something different.

This still sounds like a "Walmart" company town
