I was a GM for a Maplefields location and while I enjoyed working with my staff within the store I was more than unimpressed with my district manager, Joe Sibley, who was distant, generally unresponsive unless he received a complaint that made him look bad, and expected me to give "regulars" or his long term friends special treatment regardless of their behavior. I was given very little support/ training and felt as if my trainers were not there to help me become better but to report back petty errors that he could then blow up about later. Was fired from being a GM only a few months into employment based off rumors that I was talking "trash" about Joe. I had no write ups and was never given the chance to confirm or deny any of the comments supposedly made. Its a petty, soul-draining, and thankless company to work for that then presented out every error made during my training process to the unemployment office as malicious intent. HA! If i wanted to be equally petty, I could have kept the safe key they never bothered to ask about after I left. I would think hard before accepting any position with them and was more then happy to leave, I was already intending to do so anyway lol, when asked to.
