The company that manages the 401k plan has the best customer service of any company I have worked with. I have worked with them through some hard life situations and they have been superstars.

It is reasonable though comparing to some big companies, a little bit less but not the main part of your revenue anyway.

There are many different plans to choose from. The 40k matching is 6% which is pretty good. Good companies to manage your 401K porfolio.
