One of the rewards of becomming successful is being able to push for better practices. If you can't get support for reviews now, mitigate that by writing unit tests. When you consistently produce code that does not break in production then they will want to listen to you.
There are some shops that will never allow for decent practices and they almost never will be able to keep the truly good programmers.
