What is the ruling on working for a network marketing company that requires the employee to purchase a product and pay a registration fee as a partnership and investment, where profit is based on bringing in new members who are converted into points and currencies, knowing that the company is legal and claims to be free from fraud and deception?

The company's marketing system, which requires a participant to purchase a product and pay fees, is impermissible to engage in. This is because it contains an element of gambling. A person pays fees and buys the product hoping for commissions if they succeed in convincing others, while those who cannot convince others lose. This is neither a partnership nor brokerage.
