Plus and minus, WN if you don't have to commute it could be more time off. And Part 121 airlines layovers are longer than what you'll get at NetJets. My experience was 12 hours max layover, any longer than that and you were on "Hotel Standby" with depart within 30 minutes leash. I used to joke "Fly for NetJets and see the world thru your hotel room window".
But on the plus side, there's no commuting, they have great no cost medical insurance, and the flying is a lot more interesting. A ten year NJA pilot on the 7&7 schedule gets 21 days in a row off 4 times a year. And also on the 7&7 you can make plans months out since you know your work schedule. I declined recall to USAirways because I liked NetJets so much better.
