I am planning on getting more time before making the jump, but want to make sure it's right. I know I will probably need part 135 minimums anyway, so I have time to think about it. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!

Some of the best pilots I have flown with come from this background. In my opinion it is far better way to obtain experience than becoming a low time right seat hire at some regional. As others have indicated never let yourself be pushed into flying an airplane that is not safe mechanically and always stay in the FAR's.
These jobs build both basic skills but, more importantly they develope the unteachable judgement that is being omitted in what they are now telling young pilots that they need.
