The truth about OHSU

Pros

Great benefits, access to abundant resources, union, free classes for career growth, decent on-campus food, coffee galore, and looks good on the resume.

Cons

Disorganized, concerned about branding vs. employees and true patient care, too big for its own good, high turnover, bureaucracy at it's finest, dysfunctional, and incapable of keeping brilliant, innovative people due to institutional, catty politics.

Pros

Pay is decent and the vacation/holidays are hard to beat. Plus you can get a public transportation annual pass for $50.

Cons

Very few departments are respected and there is so much politics. I would expect to have negative interactions with some of the visitors because it is a hospital and typically people aren't there for happy reasons but honestly the employees were the worst. Rude and disrespectful--you need to be very cut throat and at an executive level to enjoy your work at OHSU.

Pros

A great way to meet a lots of very kind, curious and intelligent people. Many of the schools and departments are very diverse and have open, exciting, and greatly productive, nurturing cultures (be careful though some are not, see cons). Open information departments such as the vollum make me excited for humanity's future. Much of this business gives me hope and pride in the people I have worked with and their commitment to the well being of not just our state but of the world at large.

Cons

A company continually undercutting its employee's pay, retirement and benefits for greater profit, not what I'd like to see in a non-profit. Fractured schools and departments, many of which are very diverse and have open, exciting, and greatly productive, nurturing cultures others of which are the opposite and verge on or have outright displayed age and racial preference and sexism, bullying and poor management practices.
