Why should I consider a career in Supply Chain/Logistics in Bentonville, Arkansas?
Asked by virtualvish
Also, Is Bentonville cosmopolitain? Is it exciting? What's in it for a younger corporate guy (below 30)?

Best Answer:
Bentonville, Arkansas is where the Wal-Mart Home Office is located. Bentonville and the surrounding areas have been rapidly growing over the last ten years. I recently moved away to go to school, but manage to get back every few months. Everything is constantly growing/changing. Bentonville is not the most exciting place in the world, but be sure to check out the surrounding cities: Bella Vista, Rogers, Springdale, Fayetteville. Bella Vista has MANY golf courses if you like to golf. Beaver Lake (a VERY large lake,) is located just east of Rogers. Springdale is home to Tyson Foods. Lowell (which is located between Rogers and Springdale,) is home to JB Hunt (a leader in the supply chain/logistics field.) Fayetteville is a busy college town with a great bar strip. This part of Arkansas is BEAUTIFUL. You'll never run out of things to do. There are also many good opportunities for someone in the supply chain/logistics field. One word of caution, though: Benton County is a dry county (you'll have to drive to either Springdale or the Missouri border to buy alcohol!) Hope that this helps!

No matter where it is. Supply Chain/Logistics is the bottleneck of many companies. Make it a challenge and overcome it giving new solutions; Be a leader and a motivator.
