Pros

Ohio State University has outstanding facilities and for the most part excellent faculty. With its midwest location, Ohio State employees enjoy a relatively low cost of living with a stable housing market. Ohio State is a nationally recognized employer/university. Overall, Ohio State University is a great place to work. No place is perfect, but I'd rank Ohio State as one of the better places I've worked.

Cons

As with any large university or business, there is too much bureaucracy at Ohio State University. Another weakness, at the college level, is poor communications from leadership. Also there is currently a funding crisis in academia under the current U.S. Governement Administration (i.e., Bush).

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.
