About City of Pomona
What is the City of Pomona?
The City of Pomona is the municipal government serving around 150,000 residents in eastern Los Angeles County, California. Incorporated in 1888, it is a full-service city: its ~750 employees run public works and engineering, planning and development services, water and wastewater utilities, finance, libraries, parks, and its own police department.
Where will I work?
Pomona City Hall at 505 S. Garey Avenue — and here is the schedule that matters: City Hall is open Monday to Thursday, 7:30am to 6:00pm, and closed on Fridays. Civic-center staff work a 4/10 week — four 10-hour days with every Friday off — as standard, not as a perk you negotiate.
What is the City of Pomona team like?
A professional municipal workforce across engineering, planning, utilities, finance and administration — current openings include a Senior Civil Engineer (Land Development) and a Utility Associate Civil Engineer, with hourly-equivalent salaries published up to the $80s. A current Public Works engineering advert leads its benefits list with the schedule itself: "an excellent benefits package, including: 4/10 work schedule (Fridays off)", followed by a 6% education incentive for a master's degree and 80 hours of executive leave (management group) on top of vacation and sick leave. We list Pomona's civilian professional roles — sworn police and dispatch positions run their own duty rosters and are excluded from our feed.
Work-Life Balance
The three-day weekend is structural: the building is closed on Fridays, so the schedule cannot quietly erode the way an optional arrangement can — the same reason we list fixed municipal schedules but not negotiate-it-yourself flexible arrangements. California public-sector conditions apply on top — CalPERS defined-benefit pension membership, published salary ranges on every advert, and formal leave accruals.
