Sign on bonus?

So there was a sign on bonus for my work place for $500 after 30 days. I worked for 30 day but l quit the next day as it was a horrible place to work...my bosses really treating me terrible, talking behind my back, name calling-just really immature behaviour honestly. Anyways now they are saying l am not eligible for the sign on bonus cause l quit. Is this right? Or should l go to corporate? How do l handle this?
