I started my 401K back in January and I max it out up to what my company matches. I recently just looked at it to see what kind of interest I gained and its showing only 3.33% interest. I find this to be pretty low. Our work has a guy who deals with where we put our money. My question is, what is a good interest % to hope to gain through 401k?

I'm assuming you're talking about your rate of return. The Dow is up 20% since the first of the year and if you're only getting a 3% return during that period something is very, very wrong. Unless you are sixty years old and very risk-averse, you need to review your portfolio and consider putting more into stocks. How much more depends on your age and how many years you have to retirement. You may be best served by getting into a target fund for your estimated year of retirement. The asset allocation will then be done automatically each year by the fund manager.
