Pros

Incredibly nice and qualified workers - especially in the cores, but also among the researchers (PhD students, postdocs, research assistants, and staff scientists).

Cons

The OHSU administrative/economic system is a horrible and bloated environment, with selfish and hostile people at nearly every level of leadership. The school is gouging its postdoc workers as they try to negotiate for pay raises above the NIH minimum. In a recent townhall on the university's financial structure, the OHSU CFO lamented that so many groups are unionizing on campus (PhD students, MD residents, postdocs, research staff, nurses - all within a few years!). He spoke about the intentional recruitment of patients with private health insurance because more profits could be made from them. He told researchers that OHSU would never agree to increase the research budget to reduce its current profits (apparently it's a 3:1 ratio of profit to investment, currently). I could not recommend this place to anyone to do research!

Pros

There's a union, though outside of pay raises, they aren't helpful.

Cons

Pay is low, management is abusive and do not like BIPOC, HR, AAEO, and all other sectors that are supposed to "help" you are discriminatory, unprofessional, and unfit for their roles. Depending on your job, at least you may get to work from home now, but if you have a horrible boss (which you most-likely do), they probably made you continue to come into the office at the beginning stages of covid just for fun. Look up how many times this organization has been on legal trouble and how many people report discrimination and worse offenses that are never see the light of day.
