Finally found a job after months of looking… And I hate it. Help?

I remember how depressed and shamed I felt while sitting at home trying to find a job for months after I quit mine because of new management that completely changed the scope of my job. Well I finally found one and it's only been a month and I already want to quit. It's a small business that's run like a big business and every single little thing is tracked. The owners are pretty stingy. Nobody there takes a lunch break. There is no break room.They even acted kind of weird when I asked if there was a refrigerator that I could put my lunch in. There is a camera above my desk. They want everything done the way they want it done. I'm used to being more of a creative and having more autonomy over things.

I remember how depressed and shamed I felt while sitting at home trying to find a job for months after I quit mine because of new management that completely changed the scope of my job.
Well I finally found one and it's only been a month and I already want to quit.
It's a small business that's run like a big business and every single little thing is tracked. The owners are pretty stingy. Nobody there takes a lunch break. There is no break room.They even acted kind of weird when I asked if there was a refrigerator that I could put my lunch in. There is a camera above my desk. They want everything done the way they want it done. I'm used to being more of a creative and having more autonomy over things.
I saw the red flags and the interview but I have been out of work for 6 months and I needed to get some money coming in. They talked shit about former employees in the interview and they said “nobody wants to work.”
They also said the first day that they “don't use pronouns”. Which I don't really care but we definitely have different political views. It's just a dumb thing to tell an employee. They've also said a couple of things that come across as homophobic.
I've gotten several berating/ condescending sounding emails from them.
They seem to have a decently high turnover.
Does anybody have any advice for me? I can't imagine starting this job search over again but I can't imagine staying there.
