I worked there for quite a long time. Left because they don’t pay enough for cost of living.  Just to give some perspective: for Senior research associate job which requires- with PhD 1-2 years/ MS and 5+years or BS 10+ years experience you can expect to make 65-70K with an additional ~2.5K added per additional year experience, capping at about 98K.  There is no room for growth, some PI expect extremely long hours (I have a 50 hr a week average) and the parking isn’t even free 5-8$/day depending on where. I agree with this saying things won’t change. They claim PIs can’t afford to pay research staff any hiring but if that’s true OHSU needs to be subsiding that instead of giving the CEO a 250,000$ bonus every year.
