Quit my job today at “the card shop”

So I quit my job at a company that rhymes with Small-mark today. The entire experience there was terrible… They expect you to act as if you're working at Disneyland, for way less than a living wage.

I’m just trying to figure out if this is normal behavior. I work for a insurance agent representing one of those big insurance companies. Probably just venting here, but I really feel like this immoral and just plain unfair. To give some background, I was hired with the expectation that I sell faaaar more than the agency sells on a regular basis. I struggled for a month or two and they threatened to make me work in the office after I was hired remote-only (I live 60 miles away).
