New job, unsure whether to stay.

I've just started working as an operations administrator at an insurance company. Today is my 3rd day today and so far I have been passed between teams for training and have not enjoyed anything I've learnt. I currently feel lost, out of my depth, I wake up dreading the day and dreading coming back from lunch. I know it's only been 3 days and you cannot form any judgement on a workplace and I could place it down to anxiety and worry but something within my gut does not feel right or okay here. I want to ask for advice before I make any big decisions and ask whether I should take the leap and move on or stick at it. I feel extremely embarrassed even asking a question such as this as I said 3 days is barely anytime to form judgement but I feel I know my own mind but respectfully want to ask for advice where possible.

Why are you out of your depth presumably it’s a new job you will be trying to absorb lots of new info,. They employed you so believe you are right for the job give it longer before rushing to conclusions.

Is this a new area of work for you. What is it that you don't enjoy about the training? 3 days seems quite soon to make a final decision maybe give it a month or so in case things improve.

Trust your gut. I walked out of a job after first day once because i had a similair bad gut feeling - I was right - at the end of the shift I was being asked to sign up for overtime in a. Department I hasn’t been trained on, had been handed a phone to answer calls from customers when I literally hadn’t even learned anything in the area, and a manager spoke very poorly to me and another staff member. Told them to ram it and didn’t regret it once
