Headquartered in Addison, Illinois, The Cary Company has established itself as a leader in packaging products and container reconditioning, with expertise spanning a wide range of material solutions, from small half-ounce bottles to 550-gallon tanks.
As part of his extensive STIP research, T.J. Tyrrell, president of The Cary Company, turned to his network at Vistage. A peer executive recommended VisionLink for their expertise and consultative approach to incentive planning there.“I had been racking my brain on this topic for a few years now, trying to figure out how to create a plan that would work, be fair, and be a win for everyone. I needed help getting some of my thoughts out and putting a good structure to it.”

Tyrrell underwent a thorough vetting process, interviewing three firms specializing in incentive planning. VisionLink's extensive subject matter expertise and practical know-how ultimately won him over.
VisionLink helped The Cary Company integrate the new plan with its existing
entrepreneurial operating system (EOS). It also worked alongside Cary's leadership at
rollout meetings to communicate the plan to employees and answer employee
questions.
"VisionLink has been very helpful. They have never said, 'I can't help you with this,' or 'that is not in the scope of work.' They said, 'Hey, if you need us, we're here. And when the quarter ends, and we roll out our VisionLink Pro update, we will walk you through it.' I can always reach out to them and count on them to help us through this process by going about the journey together and making it transparent to our employees."

With VisionLink's help, The Cary Company successfully bridged the gap between its traditional profit-sharing plan and the need for more immediate, visible rewards. This balanced approach has allowed the company to address its compensation challenges while reinforcing its commitment to innovation and employee satisfaction.
As The Cary Company continues to grow and evolve, its collaboration with VisionLink stands as a testament to the power of compensation in addressing complex organizational challenges.
