In my personal experience, yes, the colony took lots more work and dedication. As a colony, you're challenged to grow (and at the same time survive). You have no benefit of the experience of those that have come before you. So yes, I'd say it was tough as a colony.
As for seniors being officers... if they're qualified and the membership wishes to elect them.. why not?
