and Weiss wants to fix her family name and make the Schnee name respected, but she can't do that under her father's thumb.

The last one I don't see what she was thinking by becoming a Huntress if she wanted to run the company. In my opinion, if you become a Huntress, such things become trivial after seeing the eldritch threats that lay in wait (that people don't know about). She never said she wanted to take over the company. If she wanted to take over, she could've just sat at home and waited for her day to come, since she's the heiress.

She said she wanted to bring back a positive view on her family name, and she discovered that she could fight well. 1 + 1 = Become a Huntress. Like Blake said, Huntresses are viewed as heroes, they have a positive light on them. If Weiss becomes a Huntress and is viewed as a hero, someone who's there for the people and helps everyone, that can bring a positive view on the Schnee name. No longer will "Schnee" only bring to mind thoughts of the corrupt business owner, it will also bring to mind the heroic Huntress.
