Hey!! So I just started a job with a REALLY junior team.
And literally every time I want to see the smallest little change I make I have to run yarn build:local ... and build the whole thing EVERYTIME.
When I develop alone I use create-react-app and just run npm run serve and I just see all my changes live..
Is there anything I can add or change for myself or suggest to my team so we don't have todo this? It seems kinda crazy...

This is a really great time to introduce ADRs. This kind of situation happens a lot, and as a group using ADRs you can establish a procedure for moving forward. https://alfy.me/2021/01/01/adrs.html
There's always some reason things are they way they are, the only difference is how you choose to write down those decisions and communicate to the people who come after you.
ADRs lead to justification for building new tools, or changing processes, or keeping the ones you got.
they don't have to be very long, just concise. The better you get at writing them, the better everything becomes. I swear by them.
In your case, I would gently explore what it would take to implement hot reloading, detail the pros and cons, and ask for a review.
the ultimate decision can be made as a team or by a single tech lead
