Temp-to-hire offer, worth it?

A permanent role may come up, but the contract starts now. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I would gain recent experience. How did you handle benefits?

Ask about extension likelihood and whether the team has hired contractors before.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
