Business experience aside, no, she is a worse option in her current state.

She yelled at the guests once she got triggered. Then almost commits accidental man-slaughter. Her actions can have likely consequences in her PR and by extension the company's, and yes, Public Reputation is an important factor for any corporation. For any entity, actually.

And yet, instead of, say, showing at least some remorse, some shame, some sense of responsibility over her actions, ''she demands to be allowed to leave Atlas. ''As if it didn't matter what she had done, she still should get what she wants like some apathetic, spoiled brat.

And when she doesn't get what she wants, first thing she does is throw personal insults.

Jacques is abusive, controlling, has a terrible laugh and has an horrendous obsession with the Schnee name's PR. But compared to current Weiss, he's a better option.

No one in their sane mind would give a company of the SDC's caliber, to a girl who:

1) Is likely to explode from people rubbing salt in wounds.

2) Lacks sufficient control over her Semblance

3) Doesn't reflect upon her actions at all, and demands to be spoiled in spite of said actions.

4) Doesn't give a damn about how others see her because of said actions.

If Weiss is not emotionally and mentally-ready to take over the company, it would be much worse if she got it anyway. Sure, Jacques is an ass, but he is not ruled by his emotions like Weiss is, for starters, and knows that having a Bad PR is an easy way to end up in a terrible spot sooner or later.

If Weiss gets the company, let it be after she grows up. In her current state, even Whitley is a better option, for he is, at least, level-headed.
