Pilots for the uber rich are "the help" and that is to be expected but this sounds a bit excessive.
This is not normal by any stretch of the imagination. There are good corporate pilot jobs (good pay, QOL, benefits and fly well maintained aircraft) and bad corporate pilot jobs (the reverse of the above) as with most things in life. You'll know the right opportunity when you see it.
