Career and Opportunity

Kemper is a diversified insurance holding company committed to serving modest‑income families. Our agents conduct 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, the journey begins with a paid training period in which we provide the tools and guidance needed to study for and pass the licensing exams.

You’ll earn a percentage of the premiums you collect, as well as a commission on all new sales you make. Through hard work and dedication, you can increase your monthly income with each new sale. This career is ideal for those passionate about serving underserved communities and gaining personal satisfaction through meaningful work.
