The Ohio State University reviews

Very laid back environment. Many paid off holidays. Management is very good. Great environment. You get to participate in many activities. If you have kids, they get to go to school almost for free. (i think osu pays for the bigger part of tution) . You get free or almost free access to a state of the art recreation facility. They also have great bonuses, and since its civil service job, if you work for 20 years for them you get AWESOME retirment package. Good luck.

The best reason to work for Ohio State are the benefits. I was promoted from a student position, so Ohio State paid for me to complete my degree. I'm currently thinking about a graduate level program which one of the reasons that I have stayed with the university. The second big benefit of Ohio State is the benefits. While health insurance has gotten worse and more expensive ever year it is available and is good enough. They are also very supportive of taken time off for family; when my son was born I received a paternal leave of three weeks which did not count against accrued sick or vacation. Exactly how accommodating the environment is largely depends on where you work; the academic side tends to demand more hours (typically closer to the 50+ hour work week) where the business units tend to favor closer to the 40 hour work week.
