Not many reputable places will want to break the law if they don't have to, and trying to get a real job while on a tourist Visa is against the law. If your employer decides to not pay you, or you get hurt on the job, etc, you'll be out of luck because you can't very well go to the police to complain about the job you were working illegally...
