The biggest difference between flying a jet and turboprop is the ability to reduce speed in the jet, and therefore the need for descent planning. Other factors that will contribute to differences will be underslung engines (B737 etc.), weight (B747 has huge momentum but C500 almost none) and the thrust to weight ratio. These are the biggest differences I have found.
