QUESTION
Can I be forced to stay at my place of employment with an at-will contract?

More details to this question:
I signed a contract that requires me to work at my current place of employment for 2 years in order to receive a raise. The contract also states that it is at-will, and I may be terminated at any time by the employer. To my understanding, at-will goes both ways, but does the first clause of the contract I signed relinquish my right to quit at any time?

Not sure I understand the question. The first clause to which you refer does not state that you have to work for two years, just that you will not receive a raise if you do not. Unless there's something else in the contract which you have not included, you can quit any time.
