You aren't giving your money to the company with a 401K plan, you're putting it into your own investment account. You choose the investments so you are responsible for the greatness/suckiness of your performance. True, a 401K doesn't have as many choices as an IRA, but you still usually have enough options to find something worth having.

SEP IRA is for the self employed, and is meant for putting far more in than you can in a 401K.
