The size and scope of the enterprise mean that whatever your niche is, there is likely a team or product that wants your specialization. Living near the corporate headquarters is definitely a selling point. Northwest Arkansas was amazing when I first started and has only kept getting better.
It's a retailer, not an IT company. It's got that baked into its bones, and it shows sometimes with the decision/procurement process. Tech debt is pretty high in some areas and often won't be addressed due to penny-wise, pound-foolish thinking.

Sometimes people are waaaaayyyy out of step with that reality and either want the Good Old Boy days to come back or can't understand why their deeply held views are labeled as being "Social Justice Warrior-esque."
Focus on rebuilding the pipeline of Store/DC/Club associates coming into the Home Office fold. So many bad projects are requested, evaluated, implemented, and supported because people don't understand how the business works.
Lots of spilt milk being cried about how things have changed. Not every nostalgic plea for the way things used to be should be listened to. But for the love of God, rebuild the culture of customer service. Sundown rule. EDLP. Etc., etc., etc...
If we push everything to being a faceless transaction in an app or website, then we only have price/selection to compete on. That works great for some places, but we have an echo chamber of urban and Silicon Valley folks that don't understand just how much of our business comes from podunk nowhere-ville towns.
