Pros

It's fun to work for a company that consistently deliver sales and profit growth with strong profit margins and strong cash flows. We have lots of opportunities for growth ahead which gives everyone on our team the opportunity to roll up their sleeves, partner with colleagues across the company, and contribute to meaningful results. We are making the world a healthier place and at Balchem you are given a seat at the table to make that happen.

Cons

Most of us wear multiple hats and manage a broad scope. I personally like that part of the culture, but it's not ideal for someone who wants a narrow, defined scope.
