Engaged employer

Not a good work environment for professionals. Most positive reviews on here are from student employees. - Human Resources The Ohio State University Employee Review

Pros

Retirement benefits are good. Working in windowless office spaces helps humanity evolve into vampires which is cool if you’re into that.

Cons

Hostile supervisory structures throughout the university. I hear time and time again and see it myself, people are consistently treated poorly by their supervisors. People leaving jobs is more often a case of people leaving managers rather than jobs. OSU definitely has this problem in regards to turnover. When moving around jobs within the university, everywhere requires speaking with your current supervisor as a reference. All this does is prevent people from speaking out about poor working environments created by managers, because everyone knows not to rock the boat or you hurt your chances of getting another job at the university.
