Is it religiously permissible to work as a sales representative for a company that markets body care products online, where the product is purchased and sold at a higher price with discounts obtained as commission, and the company's system is based on forming work teams in which the manager receives a commission from their personal sales and a smaller percentage from their team's sales in return for supervising them?

If a person buys what they need at its usual price or less, not for the purpose of joining the system but to benefit from it through selling or otherwise, then there is no harm in that, even if they register as a member. Nor is there any harm in them bringing customers to the company to market for it or buy its products, and they may take a commission for that.
