We can't tell you whether you should or shouldnt: that's a cost-benefit decision based on how much do you want this job vs. are you willing to accept the employment restrictions if it does not work out.
We can advise you to have a lawyer review the agreement with you, so that you understand exactly what you would be agreeing to and can make an informed decision.
