The PL are polarized, some photographers do not like the polarized look as it may make colors flat. It is a matter of personal preference. In a nutshell, the difference between a Neutral Density filter and a Polarizer filter is that ND filters help prevent overexposure and can highlight a subject by making the foreground or background out of focus. While Polarizing filters reduce glare which may wash out an image, producing dramatically blue skies, polarizers will also remove glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water.

You have to orient the polarized filter so that its polarization will negate the light from the direction where it's reflected. Here's an example showing how to orient them properly:
