Of course, it isn\u2019t, it\u2019s not even better than Wendy\u2019s.\u00a0 Yet it\u2019s the most popular fast food restaurant because of the vision of Ray Kroc, who was the first person to franchise a hamburger restaurant from coast to coast. Just because it\u2019s popular doesn\u2019t make it good. How many New York area pizza places are better than Dominos, Little Caesars, and Pizza Hut? I think everyone.<\/p>\n<p>The point is that popularity doesn\u2019t mean the best in quality. Yet there are so many plan sponsors that hire a plan provider just because they\u2019re popular. Hiring a plan provider just because of the assets they manage\/administer or the plans they handle is quite large on the list of plan providers. Bigger doesn\u2019t mean better, being popular doesn\u2019t mean competent. A plan sponsor that picks a provider that is just going with the flow is breaching their fiduciary duty if the popular choice isn\u2019t a competent one. There are a lot of reasons that a plan sponsor should hire a certain provider, just being popular isn\u2019t one of them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><\/div>\n<p><span class='st_sharethis' st_title='{title}' st_url='{url}' displayText='ShareThis'><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McDonald\u2019s is the most popular hamburger fast food place in the country, but is it better than In-N-Out or Shake Shack?
