All regionals will suck the life out of you, but unfortunately its something most of us have to do. No way around it. Before NetJets, I worked at two regionals, I made no money. It basically ruined my credit, it was like, my phone bill is $80, so I'll pay $40, my student loan is $300, I'll pay $200. I did that for 5 years, my credit rating (which was excellent) took a beating.

Those two regionals BEAT the airline out of me. I would never leave NetJets for any of the major airlines, and I've had two opportunities.

If you're at a regional, I don't recomend you leave it for some other regional, it's a side step, big time. Its OK if you leave a prop-regional for a jet-regional to get the "jet" experience, but if you leave for any other reason, won't look good on the resume. In my case, I left a Dash 8 for a regional jet.
