But we don’t get paid in Newtons…
A pound is about 4.4 Newtons
Pound is both. There are two units that both are named pound, one is for mass, the other for force.
This is generally referred to as pound-force (lbf) instead of just pound (lb). At least, that's what we use at my engineering firm when converting from Newtons so I may be misinformed.
