Or am I led to believe that Will's character would not have prior knowledge that one aspect of his new job would entail him to be filmed thoughout his day for a reality show. I guess his later fear of performing would lead me me to believe this option, because then surely he would not have taken the position.
This show has basically ignored the faux-reality part of itself after the first couple episodes. It's run far too long and is just a joke in and of itself.

For myself, the British office was far better at sticking to that faux-reality format and it worked very well for their comedy.

The US version is just a cliched sitcom with awkward people who occasionally look at the camera.
