"Competitive salary" means "we pay the same crappy salaries as everybody else". Your salary will increase only if their competition increases salaries and people start to leave (hence "competitive").

Exactly. "Competitive salary" is one of those phrases that cause me to instantly filter out the job posting and help me move on to the next one.
