There is a .75% match up to 6% of your salary. There is also a pension plan. I think vesting happens after five years of service.

They match up to a pretty common percentage based on age.

Good plan with Fidelity however fund selection is somewhat limited in certain catagories. Some of the fund choices have high fees that will eventually cut into retirement value.

You can put 6%. And the company will match your savings. When you leave HR is very helpful in assisting in a rollover
