Here are some things to add to the list of pros and cons:

Flying turbo jet aircraft means you will be operating at higher altitudes, for longer distances and thus will gain experience in that environment.

You will experience swept wing aerodynamics, that you get with a straight wing turbo prop. For example, swept wing aircraft have a tendency to get squirrely when slow or hit with a crosswind.

The type of flying you will be doing is the same as at a major airline, just shorter legs.

In a turboprop you will be flying more shorter legs down in the weather, so you will get good experience, but you will definitely earn your $1.98/hr.

Overall TP flying is more exhausting, sweatier, louder, and generally less comfortable, but can also be a lot more fun for a while.
