Tests are a really important part of development. There's nothing wrong with suggesting tests. The wrong thing is to insist on it to the point it creates a conflict with you and your team. Either set an example and write tests and see if it creates value and your team is OK with it, make a convincing argument or if you think tests are needed very badly because everything is broken all the time and you can't convince anyone, get a new job. Sticking around and being bitter about it is the thing that's bad.
I usually ask upfront in an interview if the team writes tests and if they don't and I get the idea they don't want to I probably wouldn't work there.
