Pros

Don’t believe the reviews you read. HR emails their employees after being hired telling them to leave a positive review about the company without even having enough time to know what’s the company is actually like. There are NO PROS to working here. With that said, look elsewhere. This company is poorly run all the way from the top to the poor treatment of their frontline workers. Upper management treats their associates like they are children and holds no accountability for their management.

Cons

Management is a reflection of their frontline workers yet they hold no accountability to management and let their frontline employees on the associate level take the fall for their mistakes. There are several managers still employed with the company that should not be with the company because they don’t do anything. Yet if you’re not performing well on the associate level they make you take the fall and don’t hold any accountability for themselves. RUN. Don’t apply here. The company is going downhill. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere. There are no COVID protocols in office and no one wears masks.

Pros

Salary was impressive but quickly discovered its because they cannot keep anyone longer than the 1-2 year mark.

Cons

Management continually dumps extra work on you because they can’t keep an employee. The particular division I was part of had a VP and AVP who wrangled their team by daily belittling, shouting, cutting you off when you asked a question and my favorite the reminder that you are the worst employee they've ever had, they’ve never had to manage such an incapable person and that you are replaceable so get your act together!

Pros

Hard to think of any pros at the moment.

Cons

Kemper Insurance wake up and read the reviews. I see multiple ones here that hit the bullseye regarding the state of this company. The "trending" chart here on Glassdoor backs it up. Over the last 2-3 years, this company has been on a painfully ugly, downward spiral. The one review that says that every person in claims is looking for a new job is correct. Another review that says ever since upper management was changed things have gone downhill. Also correct. Long term, highly experienced employees have been laid off only to get replaced with less experienced staff elsewhere or with friends of the execs. Terrible morale. Very questionable ethics at this place.
