I worked for a sister company of Lyon a while back, and while it wasn't the best job ever it was better than Planesense and way better for the logbook.
Better for the logbook? Nah. This could be debated ad infinitum, but I'd say the common consensus is that turbine PIC is much more valuable than SIC time anywhere.
At an average charter jet company, you'll never get same experience as you do at the PC12 operators. Flying 7 leg days shooting 3-4 approaches to 1800RVR, flying VFR to one of the most challenging airports in the world, getting trained in a level D sim, things like these are almost unheard of in the 135 jet charter world (although they do exist).
All while getting paid more than 50k.
Sorry, not buying.
