I’m a longtime advocate of how important it is for employers to tell the absolute truth in the hiring process. When you tell promising applicants the difficult or unpleasant parts of the job up front, the person can opt out and save you a lot of money now, instead of costing you a bunch later when they find out and decide to leave you high and dry. However, the downside of the job needs to be balanced and kept in perspective.

I can see a couple of ways to interpret this: Alison Green, author of Ask a Manager, had a great explanation for allowing employees to keep their points (especially travel points).
