Ares Commercial Finance (ACF)

Anyone know anything about Ares Commercial Finance? Who's the head of the group, where are they based, do they pay well? Has anyone had any luck getting a internship or analyst position in that group at Ares? I've heard it's one of the best private credit groups they have, but very hard to get in to.
