Unless things have changed since I was there, the fleet consists of 2 * Metro 23, 7 * Conquests, 2 * C404 Titan and 2 * BE58.
They have the CB-SY-CB freight run 4 nights a week in a titan, and CB-ML-ML every night in the Metro or Conquest depending on the day of week. Also a few other ad-hoc freight arrangements.
The Metro's seemed to be very busy doing passenger charter during the day and then freight at night. There are generally 3 Conquests based in Canberra for charter and another there for charter/aerial survey, the others as far as I remember are based at 2 remote bases doing contract charter. One of the titans is used predominately for the SY freight run and the other is set up for aerial survey, and they both double as charter aircraft when required. The barons are used for ad-hoc charter.
Pay and conditions are as per the Award.

All in all, Corporate is a fantastic company to work for. The aircraft are immaculately presented, and they value their staff. Management run a great operation, and are all very approachable.
Of all the aviation jobs I have had Corporate would has been by far the best. If you have the chance to work for them take it, you won't look back.
