Can they ask for money back?

You only get paid for the amount of time you're there. If you're new, then there is likely you won't even have vacation pay because it normally takes a year to receive. There also isn't any law entitling you to vacation pay. If you want to quit, tell them immediately. Whether you decide to give a two week notice is completely up to you.

not what you should be worrying about

this is a really, really shitty thing to do

you're going to burn bridges, get an awful reference and a reputation.

don't underestimate how close-knit and what small worlds some industries can be; a lot of people know each other and word gets around.

when you explain your 5 week stint at a new job, you're going to look like a flight risk, and a fucking idiot to boot. why did you apply for the job if you didn't know anything about it?
you'll just take anything you can get, and will suck up all the training and resources i give you, then up and leave because it doesn't meet your fancy?

fuck off.

being serious man, stick at it for a few months more. don't make this mistake, unless you already have something lined up.

I'm salaried - this vacation is going to be paid out to me like I was in the office, just not docked out of my "official" PTO bucket, which I'm supposed to receive at the end of three months.

But we're a small company, so there isn't any hard and fast rule - the CEO decided she wanted me on board so bad that she'd pay me during this trip.

I feel they lied to me when bringing me on board because they really wanted my skillset. I had worked with them for two years, and I was not aware that the CEO was in the process of firing EVERYONE on the team besides her sister and my boss, and starting the company essentially from scratch.

I was unaware I was going to be immediately assigned an Account Management role for one of our biggest clients, to report on and organize a tactic I have no experience in. (They assumed I had experience, but didn't bother to cross check this in my very easy interview.)

I feel that I can tell any potential employer that I felt my experience is best leveraged in a larger organization that has an established structure and is not 100% remote.

I don't have the resources here to learn what I need to learn, and I am very behind on projects because I simply don't have the experience.

Why is it okay for a company to put me on a three month probation period where they get to decide if I'm a good employee, but not okay for me to evaluate the job and the direction it's taking my career?

Then quit before you go on this trip. Unless you really need the money, then take the trip and then quit. It's nice of them to go out of their way, but ultimately you don't owe them anything.
