Career and Opportunity

Kemper is a diversified insurance holding company with over 100 years of history, committed to serving modest-income families. Our focus is on frequent personal home visits with new and existing customers to collect premiums, conduct sales of new policies, and address other service needs.

For new unlicensed agents, training is paid and includes tools and guidance to study for and pass licensing exams. Upon licensing, agents are assigned an existing book of business with current customers from whom they collect monthly premiums. Income is earned from a percentage of collected premiums and commissions on new sales, with the potential to grow earnings with hard work and dedication.

Agents gain personal satisfaction and community prestige by performing meaningful work that helps clients protect people and property. A pay-for-performance compensation model allows agents to determine their own paycheck, and superior performance is recognized through awards, prizes, and company-sponsored trips.
