I worked at a company for about 1 month and set up direct deposit. They never paid me correctly for days I worked. Never received pay stubs. No W-2 yet. What should I do?

Not sure if they'll send me a W-2. Also worth noting I quit after about a month of working there.

They are required to send the W-2 by Jan 31 so wait a bit longer.

If you do not receive your W-2 by February 14, then you can use your paycheck and file a 4852 form, but you must follow the IRS rules in order to do so.

[Paraphrased from IRS rules]
Can you file without having received your W-2? Yes, but only if you have not received it by February 14, and you have contacted your employer and attempted to obtain it, and you still have not received it by February 14, and then you contact the IRS (see the link below), then if the IRS is not successful in getting your W-2, you can use form 4852 in place of your W-2. But you MUST speak to the IRS before doing so. Otherwise, you cannot file before you receive your W-2.
