Work benefits

Okay I recently started my first career as a W2 employee as a recruiter for a real estate company. My boss had told me that they will cover my insurance privately (he had told me that they would add 5K to my salary to cover the cost of whatever the insurance would be)and that we get two weeks of PTO. This was during the interview and when it wasn’t in my contract I had asked him about it and he said I just need to email the person above him and she will help me get it all sorted out because since he’s a 1099 he didn’t know much about it. I emailed the women above him who never emailed me back, even after my follow up email.

I emailed the women above him who never emailed me back, even after my follow up email. My boss the next week pulled me in to explain that he had misunderstood and that my original salary includes what they’re willing to spend on my insurance and that we don’t get two weeks of PTO until we have worked with them for two years. Totally thought I would have to accumulate PTO but that seems crazy… he also blamed it on the fact that he had never hired a W-2 and wasn’t aware. But I had asked about them and made it clear they were important so in my opinion if he is going to hire a W-2 he should be educated on it. Any advice on how to go about this should be appreciated! This is my first time in the corporate world and I don’t want to let them walk all over me, but I also have bills to pay. Lol.
