A Monster Mash of Team Spirit at PLI

LAS VEGAS, NV and ASHEVILLE, NC - October 31, 2024 - Halloween at PLI was a bone chillingly good time, with employees at our Las Vegas and Asheville locations pulling out all the stops for our annual costume contest. The facilities were transformed into a haunted haven of creativity, as the staff embraced the spooky season with costumes ranging from the creepy to the outright hilarious. The HR team provided the employees snacks, but it was the sense of comradery that truly made the day special.

The costume contest stole the show, with everyone showing off their best ghoulish creativity in an attempt to win prizes. The friendly competition brought the team closer together, reminding us that sometimes a little fun and laughter can be just what we need to recharge.

This Halloween celebration wasn’t just about the costumes, it was about building bonds and boosting team spirit. PLI believes in the importance of bringing employees together through fun events like this, where creativity, laughter, and a little spooky competition go a long way in strengthening our work family.
