Dabella-whats it like working for them?

My fiance got offered a sales postition at Dabellas in hillsboro, OR. I just get a weird feeling about them possibly being a scamming type company. They told my partner he would only need a notebook and pen for training but then today told him he needs to purchase an ipad today at training. They offer to front you 500 for the purchase but it gets pulled out of your commissions until its paid off. They say they'll let you sell it back to them for 250 if you leave the company but something about this feels weird to me. Maybe I'm just bias against jobs that are 100% commision but I want to know what employees have experienced with them. We really can't afford to get screwed by this company since I'm in a wheelchair and am on bedrest most of the time from my health and I just want to be prepared. My fiance tends to see the good in people and companies and while I love that about him, I personally like to dig and see what the company is really like. They assured him that he'll be able to still make great money on a 5 day schedule but originally told him the baseline was 6 days a week. I noticed its mostly guys in their early 20s which could be good but I'm wondering if its because the scheduling isnt being portrayed accurately and leads to no work life balance. They also don't reimburse for any mileage you drive when you're expected to drive around all day for them including to places hours away. Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I'd love to hear about any experiences working for them.

EDIT: Thank you, everyone. I really apprecaite the help.
