Accepted job at company A too quickly

I accepted a job at company A without knowing if they could offer me time off, but company B offered me a similar job with a month off in the summer

What I wish I knew
"To have researched company A's policies on time off before accepting the job"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't accept a job without knowing the company's policies and benefits"
