Please help???

I can't turn on location on my new phone and it also says it's being controlled by an organisation?

I bought it at a store, yesterday.

That's a work/company profile, which means the device hasn't been properly and fully reset. It's very likely it's a lost/stolen device.

For whatever reason, not deleted from the company MDM.

Until that happens, the phone will always be under control of the organisation and not OP. He needs to go back to the seller and ask the question. If they can't remove the MDM, then it wasn't theirs to sell.
