2. a. Read Kevin’s story about his job. Are there more advantages or disadvantages of his job?

I have been working as a barista full-time for more than a year, though anyone can ask the employer for flexible working hours. My company is a great place to make friends. This job offers a lot of perks such as an excellent health care package, a free pound of coffee a week and free drinks during the breaks; if you love coffee, here it is! The wage isn’t high – $8 per hour, but they give us overtime payment, all the holidays are paid. Moreover, if you run your business properly, you will be able to get a bonus every quarter. It’s important to me that the company appreciates its staff. In case employees show their commitment, they’re likely to get a promotion. As for the disadvantages of being a barista, it has long hours standing on your feet, dealing with rude customers, a lot of stress during the busiest time of the day and the Festival period sometimes makes the job backbreaking and stressful.
