Pros

The best reason to work at the Ohio State University is the extensive academic resources available. The quantity and quality of knowledgeable individuals supports the high level of research performed. The additional benefits of a working here are related to the size of the university (i.e. an amazing fitness center, community outreach progams, libraries, etc). My experience here has been positive largely due to the quality of my research adviser.

Cons

The immense size can be overwhelming. You have to actively work to find a place for yourself within the academic community. The location of the university can be undesirable, however, Columbus offers a number of good communities.

Pros

Many resources available for various types of studies

Cons

Unless your PI is tapped into the research community, the resources are spread out and difficult to find. The overall support from the University to PIs is limited. Those individuals in positions of authority are more concerned with their own optics than with supporting those who need it.
