Yes. It has both.

The definition of "neutral" is zero net charge. Every atom has positive and negative charges among its components. If the atom is 'neutral', then the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal, and the atom's 'net' charge is zero.

What describes atoms that have a positive and negative end?

Atoms do not have positive and negative ends.Molecules, which are made up of several atoms, can be positive at one end and negative at the other; these are called "polar" molecules. The most common polar molecule is water, made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom; H2O.
