It is, as Socrates argues, still always better to be just. And later in this same dialogue we learn from the legend of Er, the slain warrior who comes back to life, that the tyrants and evildoers go to hell.

And, as I said from the first, justice is what is advantageous to the stronger while injustice is to one's own profit and advantage.

Which is why one should always check the premises - either stated, or unstated.
