Evil to them.. Would be not letting us in on the secrets of the universe. They would be all knowing, So instead of killing us, how much worse would it be to just leave us alone.. never visiting us.. leaving us here on this rock.

Using POWs/slaves as forced labor can also hinder technological progress-
Many of the folks who were forced to work for the nazis would sabotage equipment/factories even though it meant death if they were found out.
Hence alot of the tech that the Germans thought were going to give them the edge,did not give them the edge as they didn't work as they were supposed to(due to sabotage).

I am not sure-I sort of like to believe in Karma,so I would hope any super nasty alien race would get their asses kicked if they started being too nasty in terms of taking over other planets without regard to the inhabitants welfare.
But then again,If this race of aliens is that "evil"then they would not have any moral constraints to prevent them from doing things some would call unethical.
So in theory,they could progress towards interstellar travel quicker than a race who is bound by a moral code.
If you see what I mean.
