      Pros

      OSU is an excellent place to be exposed to a variety of cultures, there is high emphasis placed on understanding diversity. Cancer research in collaboration with James Cancer is excellent, there are many exciting clinical trials going on. The benefits are decent. There are a lot of resources for employees to advance in their field as well as to do their job correctly.

      Cons

      Postdoctoral researcher salaries are below NIH recommendations but the expectations are very high. Some research buildings are not updated, equipment in some laboratories is ancient. Parking is limited and very expensive (same cost for a postdoc with $35,000 as for a doctor with $100,000).

      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.
