Just like anything else in aviation be careful what you overly quantify. I was hired at lo time to fly 135 VFR in a turbo twin, and it was a very safe well maintained aircraft. I built some good multi PIC along with the ability to sell the charters and work with the FAA face to face whenever they checked in on us. All in all it was one of the best experiances I have had in aviation, and I learned a ton about 135 ops. I'll admit I was in the right place at the right time, but all 135 VFR outfits are not fly by night. Like anything else do your homework when looking at an operation.
