I left FlexJet to come here. Granted, we didn't have a fixed schedule like NetJets or some others. The money is far better here, to include retirement benefits even under current contract. The workload difference is noticeable. Your schedule doesn't change constantly so you can plan workouts or meals on overnights. I was working max days and min rest rotations constantly. Schedules suck here now but nowhere near that bad.
The bad: work gets monotonous and the planes are't as fun to fly as a sporty private jet. Also passengers can be a pain on occasion.
Conclusion: I feel like I made the right choice and never looked back*
*I chose to move and live in base. It works for me. YMMV.
