I interviewed Sam and I've met Helen and Rob, and they are decent people. The Wal-Mart corporate culture is the offshoot of Sam's workaholism, which he regretted as he was dying. I interviewed him about a year before he died, and he said that ignoring his family was his biggest regret. Working at Wal-Mart, even for the top guys, is total hell if you're not a workaholic. They work 70 to 80 hours a week, travel constantly, and if they're lucky, retire rich at 60, with nothing but Wal-Mart in their lives.
