Also, both of my managers are assholes and treats me like shit, despite me being one of the best and most hardworking employees there. I plan on taking a vacation in two months and just not returning but I'm not sure if that will be fair to my other coworkers who I have established relationships with. I also do not have a new job lined up yet for when I do quit but I plan on looking for one once I get back and I have been saving some money up. Should I give a week notice to my job before I go on my vacation or after I get back or should I just stick it out until a new job comes along?

 NEVER quit any job until you have a new one securely in hand. From experience I know that ifu quit any job you'd better be certain you have another one "in the bag" not just a promise or someone saying they know they can help you get one. I got severely burned with someone telling me "Oh yeah, I got you a job at this fabulous firm just quit your job and move out here! sure enough after quiting a very secure job selling a house and moving cross country. there was NO job... It was all a big hoax. Ha-ha? Once you have the new job then give your 2-week notice at the old one.

Always better to leave on good terms, and with a new job lined up.

 Find another job first, then resign correctly and leave on good terms. You may need a reference from them in the future.

 Honestly I'd stick it out till you have something else. People are having a hard time finding jobs as it is.
It MUST suck to have bad managers, take from this job all you can (as far as experience) and use that in your next one. I'd start looking for a new one as soon as you get back from vacation.
Do you live on your own or with your parents? Basically can you AFFORD to not have a job?
