Whether it's common or not, is this the right place for you? Stepping into a tire fire for your first job runs the risk of burning you out early and cementing lots of bad habits.
If you do want to stay there, there's a vast happy medium between "no tests at all" and "test driven development". Check out the "git effort" command for a list of the most-changed files in the codebase. (If it's not installed, try looking for a "git-extras" package for your operating system.)
The files changed most frequently are often also the ones most in need of refactoring and tests. If nothing else, you can cobble together a little test suite of your own and be the guy that finds bugs faster and introduces fewer new bugs.

Not saying it's healthy or correct, but there's a reason these jobs tend to attract the best and brightest. Money is a good motivator when you don't have it. When you have it you realize there are other things that can be important to you, but you've got to get the money first.
