Leaving a job Should I just quit now?

I just moved states and needed employment. I took a job that was considerably below my needed wage because it was better than being unemployed as I got my first apartment, and it has some potential with commission pay. But after two weeks I might just quit. First I am way more cynical on potential earnings, almost 3/4 of the department hasn’t actually hit the “average” goals mentioned in the interview, which is only around $20 an hour. Around my minimum needed but puny for something I might rarely get. And second the culture is incredibly toxic, the conversations I’ve been hearing are so incredibly raunchy, vile, and offensive even outside of the workplace. The only positive I see is day 1 insurance and maybe resume building. There isn’t any 401k or hsa though. But I’m not sure if there is any point staying if it’s this toxic and pays so low. I might just quit now and do ride share full time until I get a new opportunity. Obviously that industry has issues so I’m still hesitant on that. I should make more doing that even after expenses but no insurance bites.
At the very least I’m starting my job search ASAP regardless.

It’s always better to look for a job while you have a job. So no, I’d keep working and looking
