"To be under pressure" expresses that there are restrictions or constraints being imposed upon someone or something. A "great deal" is a common way of saying "very much", the phrase expresses that there is a large amount or quantity of something.
Although as a noun, a "deal" can refer to a contract or an agreement, in this case, a "great deal" refers to a large amount or quantity.
Although "a great deal" (as a noun) can refer to a good business move or discount, here it is being used to describe a large amount of pressure.
Do not confuse "pressure" with "pleasure"!

Luna writes that Bob has told her that "Jean is progressing nicely". To progress means to improve. Luna never expresses that Jean is getting "worse and worse."
Luna states that Trey "has experience in both management and customer service". This indicates that he has worked in the customer service field before or that he has "considerable" experience in this field. In this context, the phrase "a great deal" indicates a large quantity or amount. The terms "Customer Service" and "Client Services" are synonymous.
Luna writes, "I have checked your schedule with Polly". She has already spoken to Polly and says that the meeting is "planned for next Friday". There is no need for Bruno to check his schedule as the meeting has already been arranged.
Luna writes that Trey has an "ability to handle difficult situations with a calm and composed attitude". This means that he remains stress-free in all kinds of situations. She does not write that he is prone to panic attacks. To be "prone to something" means to be susceptible to it.

This is a true statement. Luna writes that the candidate who has been offered the job "comes with excellent references". In this context, "references" are written recommendations, particularly from past employers. This means that the successful candidate comes "highly recommended".
This statement is not a reason why the new employee has been hired.
This is one of the reasons why the successful candidate has been offered the position. Luna writes that the person who has been offered the job "has a great deal of experience". In this context, a "great deal" is "a lot" or "much".
This is not one of the reasons Luna gives for hiring the successful candidate. There is no suggestion in her email that Luna knows the new employee personally. And besides, there's never any nepotism at Delavigne!
This statement is true. Luna informs T-Bone that the new Delavigne employee "can start work at 9AM every day". "9AM" is 9 o'clock in the morning, which is the time when most offices and shops open for business.
