It's with transamerica.



Unlike the poster that said "Yikes" to Transamerica my wife's plan is with TRS and it offers institutional fees of .10% for Vanguard target retirement funds and other Vanguard index funds are .04 - .08%, and institutional class shares of actively managed funds, so Transamerica can offer good value. It's up to the company to negotiate a better plan for its employees. She does work for an employer with > 10k employees, though.

Size of the plan is very inportant here. 10 people with avg balance of $5k is going to have higher percentage expenses than a $2m plan with $350k in flow, etc.
I would just ask how often they get proposals from other vendors - they do have a duty to be paying attention. They don't have to pick the cheapest but they should have a reason for picking what they did pick.
