I know some friend that works on one of those places since more than 25 years, when I'd heard from a younger 17 y.o. he was close to a permanent contract, I'd been happy for him, as he was saying he was earning 1500 (circa) euros at the moment, which are not little for someone that has just finished school; too he was on a part-time and doing some repleacements for other colleagues sometimes, so that pay, in total, is fine.
I'm not sure as I know third party companies that menages those 6x2 months pre-contracts gains much more than 10 euros per hours, but I don't know, within a permanent contract, if that salary leverages.
Too I have to say some workers in there does weird work-turns as changing them in the middle of the week, being at evening one day (till 21:00 o-clock) and the morning the day after, well that depends on companies, but generally, for what I see, it won't be a cheap salary.
