Work Arrangement:Field Role

Career and Opportunity:

Kemper is a diversified insurance holding company with a history spanning over 100 years. We are firmly committed to serving the insurance needs of modest-income families. Our strength lies in our dedication to 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, your journey begins with a paid training period. During this time, we provide the tools and guidance needed to study for and pass the licensing exams. Once licensed, you will be assigned an existing book of business, a portfolio of current customers from whom you'll collect monthly premiums. You'll earn a percentage of the premiums you collect, as well as a commission on all new sales you make. From there, the sky's the limit! Through hard work and dedication, you can increase your monthly income with every new sale. It really is that simple.

If you're passionate about serving the underserved, this is the career for you. Our agents gain personal satisfaction and community prestige by performing meaningful work that helps clients protect the people and property they cherish.

With a pay-for-performance compensation model, agents have the opportunity to determine their own paycheck. As your skills and knowledge grow, so does your potential for increased income. Superior performance is recognized through awards, prizes, and company-sponsored trips.
