I used to work for a company that had a corporate jet as a cost saving measure. They were located at a smaller market where commercial flights tended to be expensive, involve multiple hops, and require extra days of travel (and therefore hotel bills) in order to make schedules line up. It didn't make sense to fly a single person, of course, but if there were several people who needed to go to the same place at the same time, flying the corporate jet was often the less expensive way to go.
I wouldn't advise being too envious, if I were you. It was noisy and cramped. You couldn't really stand up to stretch your legs. And you had to carefully watch how much you drank due to the lack of decent bathroom accommodations. Many of my colleagues loved it, mostly for the "we're in a private jet!" factor, and I suppose a larger plane might be more comfortable, but, at least as far as that one was concerned, I personally preferred flying commercial.
