I have been working at Brigham and Women's Hospital full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
World-class environment for biomedical research. Offers the opportunity to work with really smart physicians/scientists. Gives plenty of reasons to be proud of the institution you work at -- even when you are a postdoc that is grossly underpaid for his/her qualifications. But that's being a postdoc in general for you.
Cons
Academic advancement (promotion to faculty) involves a lot of red tape (mostly due to Harvard's bureaucracy) and the related administrative process is slow, even if you have all the "institutional criteria" down.
Overall, the environment is *very* hierarchical, i.e. it's a hospital where naturally MD is king, and as a biomedical investigator (whether junior or senior faculty), people have to work with (read: work for) physicians, which means there is less academic freedom compared to what you would get at a research university. But along with that restriction comes access to the unique resources of a nationwide acclaimed hospital and the affiliation with Harvard (see Pros above). That's the main tradeoff.
