City of Hillsboro

During my time with the organization, I enjoyed many aspects of the work itself and valued the opportunity to contribute to projects that benefitted the community. I worked alongside dedicated team members who took pride in their responsibilities.

However, I experienced challenges related to management communication and consistency. Feedback processes at times felt unclear, and I encountered situations where expectations shifted without prior discussion. Additionally, there were instances where task delegation and workload distribution created strain, and follow-up on concerns was not always timely.

I believe the organization could benefit from improved transparency, consistent leadership communication, and equitable workload management. With these changes, it has the potential to be an excellent place to work.


I've been very impressed with the time that I've worked at the City of Hillsboro, being able to see how things are run from the inside. The people running the city truly care about the City of Hillsboro and it's people, and are always seeking to do right by its people. City governments are not known for being innovative - and I love that the City of Hillsboro does not fall under that statement. Innovation is something that is a strong value there, and it keeps the City looking to grow and improve and do better.

I started during COVID, and have worked remote the majority of the time, so have felt a bit disconnected from my coworkers. That said, the people I have worked with have been kind and are good solid people.

As a employee and a resident I was ashamed at what the city does in maintenance and repair. Untrained people following lazy leaders. The sanitary system and storm systems are in disrepair. Mgmt. Claims not enough money to do repairs. The trained and able quickly look for other jobs. Nepotism is the standard. Friends and family take the jobs and work goes undone. Pays below average of public work. Money goes to pet programs and managment.  While the rate payer gets low quality work. If you're family good place for users and do nothings.

I really enjoyed my time with Hillsboro, I would be happy to work in any Hillsboro department. Great community environment regardless of the department you work in. always fun things going on and contests and potlucks.

The City of Hillsboro and Jackson Bottom Wildlife Preserve were both outstanding environments to serve as a volunteer.  I learned so much and worked with such great people.  There were many different work sites and locations and it was all interesting and exciting.

Working for the City of Hillsboro was an awesome experience. You start the day with stretching routines while management briefed the staff. The job was low stress most of the time as long as your competent and don't need a lot of management.

Culture is everything, and the SHARC of the City of Hillsboro provides a great environment to work in. My only wish is that the were more full-time positions that they could take on.

i enjoy the city and the people that I get to work with! I've had a lot of opportunities and have learned very many new skills

It's clear that everyone I work with is caring, patient, helpful, detail-oriented, and fun to work with. Working with kids can be challenging, but you can tell we truly make a difference here at BLAST.
