Primerica will have you trying to sell term life insurance to everyone even if they want whole-life. And the worst part is they have one of the worst priced term life products on the market. Anyone who price shops you will be a tough one for you to sell.
AIL- Better mix of products and some training depending on what area you are in but still not competitive on prices and a very weak product mix compared to their competitors. They generate leads based on you are to contact union members with appointments set by you are going to give them some free insurance. Then in the home you are to pull the ol' bait and switch and try to up sell them. Works for some people but a tough gig for most.
Senior Life- Do you want to sell one of the least attractive (high premiums) final expense products and earn some of the lowest commissions in the industry? You found them! They try to pitch a gimmicky casket pitch to their life insurance sales to get people to forget price. In my humble opinion you are better off selling a better priced company to start with.
Don't look for good companies on Craig's Life. They aren't there. Read the forum. Get a feel for how things work. Take it a little slow. Then you will be fine.

They're all horribly priced and pay low commissions. Look anywhere else...

I am more of a P&C guy, so the other guys might have a different prospective. With that said, I wonder if Mass Mutual or Mutual of Omaha would be better places to start??

Over the other three companies mentioned? Hands down, absolutely!
Even if you had the WORST office, I'd recommend those two.
I don't know the Senior Life Services company, but AIL is in supplemental health products. They compete with AFLAC, Combined Insurance, and Colonial (generally). I know some people have had good initial experiences with AIL, but it usually doesn't last longer than a couple of months.
Primerica is an MLM with 25% contracts to start. Both Mass & MoO would start with at least 55% + new agent bonus opportunities.
