Pros
Minimal. The company hires consultants on temporary visas as subcontractors while denying them employee rights—a practice known as sham contracting, which is illegal in Australia according Fair Work Act 2009. I have filed a complaint with the Fair Work Ombudsman/Fair Work Commision regarding these practices.
Cons
• Toxic workplace culture characterized by controlling and threatening behavior. • Leadership lacks understanding of professional and ethical standards in Australia. • If you are asked to sign a contract with an on-hire company while performing as an employee, this constitutes unlawful sham contracting. Report it to the Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). • The on-hire company is a third-party, there will be a fourth-party to engage for the salary payment. How sneaky they are to arrange such a complex employment structure?!
