Basically the title. The company I now work for has a 401k program through VOYA, vested 100% immediately after the short probation period. Can contribute up to a specific amount every year, iirc $7,500. I understand this is obviously not ideal and I'm waiting on specifics about fees and such, but in the meantime I'm trying to assess the best way to go about this.
Should I prioritize Roth IRA over this company 401k since the company is lower on the investing "hierarchy". I'd assume it's still worth it to invest through the company, but I need to gain a better grasp on why, and what to prioritize. This wasn't a deal breaker when I took the position, I wanted to work here anyway because my work-life balance is outstanding and I actually love working with everyone. In every other way, it's a marvelous growth opportunity and stepping stone in my industry connections-wise (remaining vague for reasons). Just want to navigate this portion wisely.
Note: I also don't know the history of VOYA, so feedback with them is appreciated. Have seen mixed reports of bad experiences. Not asking for financial advice, just input on investing tiers and priorities.
