a typical pension plan is a defined benefit plan...you work x amount of time against some calculation that gives you a determined/defined pension amouint. Those are getting more rare.
401K is a defined contribution plan....you put in x dollars and we will match some defined amount to your dollars.
I am fortunate that my company still provides both
