Bed Bath & Beyond is under fire.

Bed Bath & Beyond is under fire for messy stores, "excessive compensation" of executives, and an abundance of garbage cans.

A group of activist investors - Legion Partners, Macellum Capital Management, and Ancora Advisors - recently released a brutal presentation slamming Bed Bath & Beyond's leadership.
