Our 401K has a couple of dozen different investment options. I spot checked them (they don't give you an easy way to see the fees for everything at one time). The fees ranged from a low of 0.05% to a high of 0.8%. My money is primarily in a fund with fees of 0.07%. I'm pretty happy with that. I've got friends at other companies where the 401K options are terrible and fees are usurious.
