When I have been a contracted employee I have always signed an agreement with all aspects of the job covered and have an attorney look it over. I do not sign one unless I am getting what I want. If the company wants to set all the rules for your contract, go away , far away. A contracted employee should always get paid better than employees, because their employees can't do the job. Do not let them push you around especially with this incredible job market. Take advantage of being a contractor by wanting high salary (so you can afford benefits) and no changes to your job. You will then become an employee. A company doesn't really pay that much in taxes, disability, etc. as they tell us they do.
