Is there any suspicion in my work for a company that exclusively deals with women's kitchenware and products, where I work as a sales representative with a commission on sales, purchase products at a discounted price and sell them at catalog price, and take products with a trust receipt that includes a late penalty fee?

Your question included several points, which we will summarize in our answer as follows:

First: Your work as a sales manager within a female team is permissible.

Second: The manager's commission, which is a percentage of the sales made by the sales representatives, is a matter of dispute. If it is deemed impermissible, this does not affect your permissible work. However, it is advisable to counsel the manager and the employer to change the contract.

Third: Displaying products to customers and selling them at a price higher than the purchase price from the company is permissible, provided that the sale does not occur before the products come into your possession.

Fourth: The company selling you the product at a lower price than what is displayed in the catalog is permissible. You are not obliged to inform the buyer of the actual price if the sale is a bargaining sale.

Fifth: The company's condition of a penalty for late payment is a forbidden condition that should not be accepted. It is obligatory to change it or to abandon the contract if that is not possible. Previous contracts are not invalidated by this void condition, but it is necessary to avoid it in future dealings.
