Grow with Alto
Many of our open roles are leads and supervisors. Good associates can grow into them.
Where the work can lead
Store experience travels. Associates who show up, learn the work and help the team can move into shift lead and supervisor roles, with us or with a client who hires them directly.
Associate
Cashier, stocker, produce, freezer and other floor roles. You learn how a store runs.
Shift lead
You run a shift: covering breaks, helping new associates and keeping the work moving.
Supervisor
You lead a team or a department, set priorities and report to the store’s managers.
Department lead
You own a department’s results: stock, standards and the people who keep it running.
What leads and supervisors look for
Reliability
Being on time, every shift, and calling early when something comes up.
Knowing the work
Learning every task in your area, so you can help anywhere it is needed.
Helping others
Showing new associates the ropes and keeping the team calm on busy days.
Speaking up
Telling your lead about problems early, from an empty shelf to a safety hazard.

Common questions
Do I need experience to become a shift lead?
Usually some. Most lead roles ask for store experience, and time as an Alto associate counts.
Can a client hire me permanently?
Yes. Some clients hire associates directly. When that happens, it is a step forward, and we are glad for you.
Does it cost anything to move up?
No. Training and promotion never cost you a fee.
