I honestly took this job because of the grass is greener syndrome lol and because it was in aviation and thought that’s exactly what I need. I try so much to be positive about it and think that it is only temporary until I’m a CFI but on day when it’s sunny and clear sky in the morning all the way until I get off I have to cancel my flight lesson those days makes it so hard to be positive. I try to enjoy it as much as I can and have a positive attitude but at this position I’m getting yelled at by angry employees that are mad about company policies that I have no control over it. You probably understand where I’m coming from, I’m just trying my best as much as I can but it’s not easy at all.
Only you know your situation, and only you know how bad things really are. But whatever you do, don’t rage quit. Not in this industry. It is hard to recover from that. I know from experience lol. It will definitely prevent you from getting hired there as a pilot. If you give them 2 weeks and say you found another job, they won’t care. It won’t prevent you from coming back to work there as a pilot. But that’s assuming you maintain a positive, professional image as a CFI and any other flying jobs you pick up before heading to the airlines.

So I recently got a full time job at a WO airline to boost my resume up a little bit when I have my 1500hrs. And to say the least I really don’t like the way things are done around here, and it’s not the company as a whole it’s their work rules and also my coworkers. I'm trying to suck it up until I’m done flight training, but my question is if for whatever reason I left on not so good of good terms would effect my in the future?
it’s a WO airline and I work in the ground department so nothing we do effects the flight ops I meanly handle the group agents and ground ops

If you need to quit, do it. But first bust your butt and suck up for a few weeks or however long it takes to make them like you so you don't get anything bad in your record.

IGI (I got it) now.
What type of job IT (is this) that you have with the WO airline? Are you working there in a FCS (flying capacity, somehow)? GPOBHORR? (ground personnel or baggage handler or ramp rat)? When you say you're leaving on NSGOGT (not so good of good terms), what do you mean? If you're asking if you should give TWN (two weeks notice), that's one thing, but if you TASIRJE (threw a supervisor into a running jet engine), that's a HOADCE (horse of a different color, entirely). DM (details matter).
Try to leave all jobs on GT (good terms). It's been opined that your mission at any job is to get a GR (good recommendation), whether you're at a WO airline or not. It's a good idea to get a LOR (letter of recommendation) from every employer, before you leave.

Hehehehehe.
I didn’t know what WO was either.
Anyway, last time I checked you’re not obligated to take a job you didn’t interview for so WUWT ( what’s up with that )
Now we’ve established you’re at a Regional why not give it a 3-4 months then if it’s still not your COT ( cup of tea) then have a friendly chat with your supervisor and out of courtesy give them 4 weeks notice.
YPSNBTP ( your problem should not be their problem)
KR ( Kind regards)

Make it point, for the two week period, to arrive at work 10 minutes early. Shouldn’t be a big issue.

I'm not "roasting" you (that's not actually what a roast is), but had no idea what a WO airline might be, hence the question. Perhaps it was the teen-speak that threw me.

I was hired for payroll but they put me in the administrative office(think about crew scheduling, HR, customer Service, a secretary and badging all in one position)
for the NSGOGT question I guess if I fu*** up sometimes so bad and have to be let go(there’s so many things I can ******* up especially that I have no experience in a position like this)
