More details to this question:
If I was hired for a company full time and never received an employee handbook, benefits information, or any "code of ethics" policy in regards to companies policies and procedures, and was never explained to verbally any of the above information by a supervisor, manager etc. could I be terminated for violating the policies?

Assuming that you have no contract which limits your employer's rights to fire you (i.e. an agreement providing that you can only be terminated for violating policies set forth in the employment handbook), yes. In fact, absent such a contract, you can be fired for any reason not prohibited by statute (race, gender, religion, etc.)
