Great coworkers and a relaxed environment
Information Technology Quality Assurance Analyst (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – February 24, 2018
The coworkers are great and you get to dress casual to work everyday. Management is very understanding if emergencies come up and you need to either come in late, leave early or take the day off.
Pros
relaxed dress code, great coworkers
I really enjoy working at Kemper
Sr. Systems Administrator IV (Current Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – April 20, 2018
Kemper is a great place to work with helpful, intelligent colleagues in a family based environment. Excellent benefits and compassionate managers. I will likely retire from Kemper.
Great place to intern!
Intern (Current Employee) – St. Louis, MO – April 20, 2018
I am a new intern at Kemper, and although I don't receive benefits until I am hired, I am very happy with my pay! The people here are all SO friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a stress-free, stable job, then look no further! Apply! I love it here! You typically get a half hour (unpaid) lunch, and two breaks, (paid). You can take an hour for lunch if you work an extra half hour. Very flexible schedule!
Pros
Flexible schedule
Cons
No benefits for interns
The worse place I have ever worked.
Team manager and litigation specialist (Former Employee) – Chatsworth, CA – April 19, 2018
I have been in the insurance industry for over 20 years. Kemper was the third company I have worked at. I am highly regarded in the insurance claims industry. Kemper’s upper management does not care about their employees. The expectations are unrealistic. Business is poorly managed. Policy count is out of control and they insure the bottom of the barrel. Claim count is through the roof. They are so desperate for employees that they put unqualified people in positions, including management . They do not counsel under performers and the high performers are not recognized. They’ve handed out 1% raises for the past three years despite how you have performed. It was the unhealthiest environment I have ever worked in.
Pros
Co-workers
Cons
All of the abive
Worse place to work
Life Insurance Agent (Former Employee) – Maryland Heights, MO – April 15, 2018
The managers are NOT real managers anybody can do they job, they choose favorites talk bad about you, it's middle school all over again. they don't know how to talk to their employees, let alone run things the place is raggedy every body that worked there has quit don't waste your time or life fakiest people you'll meet
Pros
Pto
Cons
No place to grow with company
Company doesn't exist anymore
Loan Officer (Former Employee) – Des Plaines, IL – March 23, 2018
I worked for Kemper Mortgage on a commission only basis. This, unfortunately, did not provide a steady income until after being very established in the company. I did not get a chance to do that because the company dissolved overnight and fired all employees the next day without warning.
Pros
Good coworkers
Cons
commission only, cut-throat
RUN from Kemper FAST
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – St. Louis, MO – March 20, 2018
This Company has the worse Management and HR Dept. Once your in a position for a certain amount of years they will not advance you to new career opportunities within Company.. HR does nothing to help employees.
Pros
No Pros
Cons
Management/HR Dept
12 years of torture
Claims Adjuster (Former Employee) – Philadelphia, PA – February 25, 2018
Every year it got worse, as the management came up with stupid ideas to improve the company. How about focus on keeping customers and not trying to rip them off. How about caring about you employees that are loyal, instead of laying people off every 18 months. The best day of my life was when I was laid off. I now have a better job, and realize now how poorly I was treated by Kemper.
Pros
My coworkers
Cons
Too many to list
Changing Environment
Internal Auditor III (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – February 23, 2018
Work about 8 hours per day. Many changes within the company due to relatively new executive management. The company continues to grow which makes for an exciting environment.
Solid Company
Human Resources/Compensation Manager (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – February 12, 2018
Kemper is a solid company that has been around for a long time. Its business results are improving and its stock price has gone up. It has a good diversification of products and markets.
Pros
Stability
Cons
Unclear career paths

Clerical assistant (Former Employee) – San Antonio, TX – January 26, 2018
Kemper was an outstanding company till it was forced to close in San Antonio, TX. Worked with a good team and since it was a workers compensation and auto insurance every day was different. I did data entry, trained 8 workers, issued checks and distributed mail.
Pros
Good co workers
Cons
Fast paced job
Numbers driven
HSIS Customer Service (Current Employee) – Maryland Heights, MO – January 25, 2018
Quantity over quality is stressed each day/ hour. Trying to go paperless so there is no flow chart for new positions. Everyone will answer a questions differently.
Pros
PTO hours are generous. Good medical.
Good company & good job, but company went out of businees because of financial difficulties
Senior Fire Protection Engineer (Former Employee) – Long Grove, IL – January 22, 2018

Fun place and very nice people
Lead clerk (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – January 15, 2018
I truly enjoyed working at Kemper. I learned a lot about insurance for cars and boats. I got promoted to a lead clerk for umbrellas which was fun to learn and to put in. I made good money at Kemper. If they would not have closed our department I would still be there working.
Pros
Benefits are real good.
Cons
Long hours sometimes
Management constantly rotating
IT Project Manager (Current Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – January 15, 2018
Typical Insurance company with high turn over. Tons of office politics, but you can find a friendly group after networking with your coworkers. I would probably not work for them again.
run as far as you can

Pros
none
Cons
lies and misleading meetings
Decent company
Human Resources Director (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – November 28, 2017
Very fluid organization with strong commitment to succeed. Many new leaders make alignment and communication difficult at times. Individuals are afforded plenty of opportunity to learn and grow but efforts are not always aligned or recognized.
