Perhaps, the settings are not cleared.
Code: 
Sub test()
    Columns(1).TextToColumns Destination:=[b1], DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
        Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
        :="(", TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
    Columns(3).Replace ")", "", 2
    Columns(3).TextToColumns [c1], 1, Other:=True, OtherChar:="/"
End Sub

Not sure what you are doing with the results (if anything) or whether it matters to you but with your sample data, the code leaves all the values in the name column with a trailing space.

If interested, here is another option that addresses that issue and only requires a single text to columns.

VBA Code: 
Sub TTC()
  With Range("B1:B" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
    .Value = Application.Substitute(Application.Substitute(.Offset(, -1).Value, " (", "/"), ")", "")
    .TextToColumns , 1, , , 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, "/"
  End With
End Sub
